The function f(x) = −x2 − 7x + 30 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), in

feet, and the horizontal distance x, in feet, of a diver from the diving board. What is a zero of f(x), and what does it represent?
x = 10; the diver hits the water 10 feet away horizontally from the board
x = 3; the diver hits the water 3 feet away horizontally from the board
x = 10; the diver jumps in the pool at 10 feet per second
x = 3; the diver jumps in the pool at 3 feet per second

Setting f(x) = 0, we have:
-x2 -7x +30 =0

The roots of this quadratic equation are:
x = 3 and -10

Since the diver is on a diving board, the -10 is somewhere behind him. We use the root x = 3 since this distance is in front of the board.

Therefore, the answer is:
x = 3; the diver hits the water 3 feet away horizontally from the board

Divide 20m^2n^3 - 10m^2n by 5mn
Sonja [21]

\frac{20 {m}^{2} {n}^{3}  - 10 {m}^{2}n  }{5mn}  \\  =   \frac{5mn(4m {n}^{2} - 2m) }{5mn}  \\  = 4 {m}^{2} n - 2m \\  = 2m(2mn - 1)

Hope this helps. - M

Find an equation of the circle that has center (-1,2) and passes through (5,-4).
kherson [118]
General equation for a circle
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
with (a,b) represents the center, (x,y) represents one of the points lie on the circle, and r represents the radius

Determine r² by substituting the points into the general equation
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
(5 - (-1))² + (-4 - 2)² = r²
(5 + 1)² + (-6)² = r²
6² + 36 = r²
36 + 36 = r²
72 = r²

Determine the equation of the circle
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
(x - (-1))² + (y - 2)² = 72
(x + 1)² + (y - 2)² = 72 (This is the equation of the circle)
