Let f(x) =0.
${x}^{2} + 2x - 8 = 0 \\ (x + 4)(x - 2) = 0 \\ x + 4 = 0 \\ x = - 4 \\ x - 2 = 0 \\ x = 2$
x=-4, 2

sattari [20]

Answer: Actual length of the bus = 171.67 feet

Width of the lake on the scale drawing = 12.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A scale drawing of a school bus has a scale of 12 inch to 5 feet.

i.e. 12 inch = 5 feet

$\Rightarrow \text{ 1 inch}=\dfrac{5}{12}\text{ feet}$

If length of school bus on scale drawing = 412 inches

Then, Actual length of bus = $\dfrac{5}{12}\times412=171.67\ \text{feet}$

A scale drawing of a lake has a scale of 1 cm to 80 m.

If the actual width of the lake is 1,000 m

then, the width of the lake on the scale drawing = $\dfrac{1000}{80}=12.5\text{ inches}$
