Answer: C (0,2)
Step-by-step explanation: Y intercept is when the x value is equal to 0. Find the value in the table where the x value is 0 and then look at the h(x) value or the y value to find the answer. In this case the point where x=0 h(x) = 2.
So hmmm x²+6x+8=0
alrite.. let's do some grouping now
( x² + 6x + [?]²) + 8 = 0
notice above, we have a missing fellow in order to get a perfect square trinomial... hmm who would that be?
let's take a peek at the middle guy of the trinomial.. 6x.. hmmm let's factor it, 2*3*x, wait a minute! 2 * 3 * x... we already have x² on the left-side, since the middle term is just 2 * the square root of the other two terms, that means that the guy on the right, our missing guy must be "3"
alrite, let's add 3² then, however, bear in mind that, all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0
so if we add 3², we also have to subtract 3², let's do so
(x² + 6x +3² - 3²) + 8 = 0
(x² + 6x +3²) + 8 - 3² = 0
(x+3)²=3² - 8
(x+3)² = 1
Answer
I’m pretty sure it’s c
Explanation
This situation is a right triangle with the base measuring 18 and the hypotenuse 22. We are looking for x, the height up the pole that the wire is going to be attached to. We will use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the missing length.
and
. x^2 = 160 so x =
or 12.65 feet
