Mr. Burnam decided to go hot air ballooning for his fortieth birthday. He launches from 6 feet above ground and then ascends 12

feet further. He didn't want to leave his wife behind, so he descends 20 feet to meet her. Where does mr. Burnam end up?

Answer:

  2 feet below the ground level at the place where he started.

Step-by-step explanation:

After he adds 12 feet of elevation to the 6 feet above ground level where he launched, Mr Burnam is 6+12 = 18 feet above the ground level where he launched.

If he descends 20 feet, he will be 18 -20 = -2 feet above the ground level where he launched. That is, he is 2 feet below the ground level where he launched. We hope the ground slopes downward somewhat so Mr Burnam is not buried in the ground at that point.

Find the value of X(2x + 4) (2x-9)
kotykmax [81]

2x +4)° 2x-9)°= 4x  2 +8x−9=3

 Pull out like factors :

  2x + 4  =   2 • (x + 2) (4 • (x + 2) • x) -  9

4x • (x + 2) -  9

Factoring  4x2+8x-9  

The first term is,  4x2  its coefficient is  4 .

The middle term is,  +8x  its coefficient is  8 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -9  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   4 • -9 = -36  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -36  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   8 .

     -36    +    1    =    -35  

     -18    +    2    =    -16  

     -12    +    3    =    -9  

     -9    +    4    =    -5  

     -6    +    6    =    0  

     -4    +    9    =    5  

     -3    +    12    =    9  

     -2    +    18    =    16  

     -1    +    36    =    35
