A line from the top of a cliff to the ground passes just over the top of a pole 6.0 ft. high and meets the ground at a point 7.0

ft. from the base of the pole. if the point is 86 ft. from the base of the cliff, how high is the cliff? round to the nearest unit.

This will solved using the concept of proportionality:
(height of the cliff)/(height of the pole)=(base of the cliff)/(length from base of pole to the rope)
thus, let the height of the cliff be x, plugging the values in the formula we obtain:
x/6=86/7
hence solving for x we get
x=(86×6)/7
x=73.71 ft

Equation is (x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25

Center is (-1, -2)

Radius = 5

===========================================

Work Shown:

x^2+2x+y^2+4y=20\\\\(x^2+2x)+(y^2+4y)=20\\\\(x^2+2x+1)+(y^2+4y)=20+1\\\\(x^2+2x+1)+(y^2+4y+4)=20+1+4\\\\(x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25\\\\

center = (h,k) = (-1,-2)

radius = 5

-----------------------------

Explanation:

I grouped up the x and y terms separately. Then I added 1 to both sides to complete the square for the x terms. I cut the 2 from 2x in half, then squared it to get 1. In the next step, I cut the 4 from 4y in half to get 2, which squares to 4. So that's why I added 4 to both sides to complete the square for the y terms.

Each piece is factored using the perfect squares factoring rule which is a^2+2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2

The last equation is in the form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

We can think of x+1 as x - (-1) to show that h = -1

Similarly, y+2 = y-(-2) = y-k to show that k = -2

The center is (h,k) = (-1,-2)

The radius is r = 5 because r^2 = 5^2 = 25 is on the right hand side in the last equation above.

Answer:

Step 3, because the solution should also include all the values for x between the two given values

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we have

y_1=\left|x-4\right|

y2=1

step 2

The graph in the given problem

step 3

Identify the solution when y1\leq y2

so

\left|x-4\right|\le1

using a graphing tool

The solution is the interval  -----> [3,5]

see the attached figure

All real numbers greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 5

therefore

The first step in which the student made an error is step 3
