Set the function to equal zero:

To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:

Plug the values into the equation:




Solve for both plus and minus:



The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.
The answer is
'<span>
x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>
Answer:
137
Step-by-step explanation:
sum of angle in a circle = 360°
105 + 118 + x = 360
223 + x = 360
x = 360 - 223
x = 137
Answer:
its called a frcaction
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 3 ± sqrt(11)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 6x + 9 = 11
Recognizing that this is a perfect square trinomial
(x-3) ^2 =11
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt((x-3) ^2) = ± sqrt(11)
x-3 =± sqrt(11)
Add 3 to each side
x = 3 ± sqrt(11)
