Hi!
We are given the information found in the picture below.
Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.
The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.
To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where
and
are 2 legs of the triangle, and
is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:

We know
and
and want 



Therefore,
is approximately 
Answer:
g(-1) = -1
g(-0.25) = 0
g(2) = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
So you want to find two numbers that add up to -13 and multiply to
40. You can find the factors of 40 and find the pair that adds up to
-13. -8 and -5 multiply to 40 and add up to -13.
<span><span>(x−5)</span><span>(x−8)</span>=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>
You can use foil to test it
<span><span>x2</span>+<span>(−8x)</span>+<span>(−5x)</span>+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>
<span><span>x2</span>−13x+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+</span>
