Answer: h = 68.5, 51.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right angle triangle. The base is the sea and the line perpendicular to it is the cliff  

The base is the distance of from boat to the cliff is 104

Let the height of the cliff be h.

The hypotenuse, the distance from the top of the cliff to the boat is therefore 2h-26

Pythagoras tells us that  

(2h−26)^2  = 104^2 + h^2

4h^2 − 52h + 289 = 10816 + h^2

3h^2 − 52h − 10527 = 0

h=68.5, 51.2

The other result is negative and therefore not relevant.

If you cannot factorize then solve using the formula.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:Average error will be less

Step-by-step explanation: Prediction error refers to the difference between the the actual and predicted value of an observation. Using correlation analysis or study, The level or degree of correlation or relationship between two measured variables usually determines the variation or measure of the prediction error. If there is no relationship or correlation between two measured variables, if such model is used to make prediction, the average prediction error will be very high. However, since it is stated that there exist a relationship between high school GPA and Freshman-year GPA, then making prediction based on this assertion will lessen the average prediction error.

Use the rational zeroes theorem to write the
scoundrel [369]

The y factors of the given quadratic equation is -1 and 40/22.

According to the statement

we have given that the equation and we have to find the factors of those equation.

So, The given equation is:

Y =x^2-23x^2 + 18x+40

where y is the factors of that equation.

So, we have to find the factors of the given quadratic equation.

x^2-23x^2 + 18x+40 = 0

Then after solving it become

-22x^2 + 18x+40 = 0

Then take negative sign common from it then

22x^2 - 18x - 40 = 0

Make the factors of this quadratic equation

22x^2 + 22x -40x - 40 = 0

Now take common values 22x and 40 from the equation then

22x (x + 1) -40 (x + 1) = 0

Then it become

(22x - 40) (x + 1) = 0

Then the values of x become from the equation is

x = -1, x= 40/22

The value of the factors y is -1 and 40/22.

So, The y factors of the given quadratic equation is -1 and 40/22.
