H(d)=height from water
when he reaches the water, his height from water=0

so set the equation equal to zero and solve

0=-d^2+2d+24
multiply both sides by -1 for ease
0=d^2-2d-24
now find what 2 factors of -24 add up to -2
answer is -6 and 4
0=(d-6)(d+4)
set each to zero
d-6=0
d=6

d+4=0
d=-4
you cannot have negative distance  because that means he hasn't jumped yet so get rid of this number

d=6

answer is 6 meters

Factor the trigonometric equation.<br> cos2x-cosx
prisoha [69]

Cos(2x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) - cos(x)

but sin^2(x) = 1 - cos^2(x)

cos(2x) - cos(x) = cos^2(x) - (1 - cos^2(x) ) - cos(x)

cos(2x) - cos(x) = cos^2(x) - 1 + cos^2(x) - cos(x)

cos(2x) - cos(x) = 2cos^2(x) - 1 - cos(x)

cos(2x) - cos(x) = (2cos(x) + 1)(cos(x) - 1)

I think this is what you have asked for.

HELP I DONT UNDER STAND INTERGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAXImum [283]

Answer:An integer (from the Latin integer meaning "whole") is colloquially defined as a number that can be written without a fractional component. For example, 21, 4, 0, and −2048 are integers, while 9.75, 512, and √2 are not. ... ℤ is a subset of the set of all rational numbers ℚ, which in turn is a subset of the real numbers ℝ.
