We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve. (a² + b² = c²)

Fill in with what we know → 6² + b² = 11²

Simplify → 36 + b² = 121

Subtract 36 to both sides → 36 - 36 + b² = 121 - 36

Simplify → b² = 85

Take the root of both sides → √b² = √85

Simplify → b = 9.2195...

Round if necessary → 9.2195 = 9.22

Hence, b equals 9.2195.. (unrounded) or 9.22 (rounded).

Best of Luck!

Ana dives into a pool off of a springboard high dive. Her height (in meters above the water), x xx seconds after diving, is mode

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: Ana will hit the water after 3 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exercise gives you the following function which models Anna's height above the water (in meters) after diving "x" seconds:

$h(x)=-5(x+1)(x-3)$

You can rewrite the function with $h(x)=y$ :

$y=-5(x+1)(x-3)$

In order to calculate the number of seconds Ana will hit the water after diving, the procedure is:

- Substitute $y=0$ into the function:

$0=-5(x+1)(x-3)$

- Solve for "x".

By the Zero Product Property, you know that if $a* b = 0$ , then $a=0$ or $b=0$ .

Then you get:

$x=-1\ or\ x=3$

- Choose the positive value ( $x=3$ )

Then, Ana will hit the water after 3 seconds.
