Answer:
x = 3 ±
or
x = 3 + , x = 3 -
Step-by-step explanation:
given f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 - 8, find when f(x) = 40
So, we plug in 40 for f(x) in the 1st equation and solve for x. (Aim to got x on its own)
40 = 2 (x - 3)^2 - 8
+ 8 + 8
-----------------------------
48 = 2 (x - 3)^2
/2 /2
-----------------------------
24 = (x - 3)^2
square root both sides
--------------------
= x - 3
x = 3 ±
Answer:
i. Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.
ii. Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Colonel's location be represented by A, the Sarge's by B and that of campfire by C.
The total angle at the campfire from both the Colonel and Sarge = +
=
Thus,
<CAB = -
=
<CBA = -
=
Sine rule states;

i. Colonel's distance from the campfire (b), can be determined by applying the sine rule;
=
=
=
cross multiply,
b =
= 200.8993
Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.
ii. Sarge's distance from the campfire (a), can be determined by applying the sine rule;
=
=
=
cross multiply,
a =
= 124.8073
Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.
