The answer is <span>252.5 ft

</span><span>y = –0.004x</span>²<span> + x + 2.5
Let's take y = 0 and we'll get the quadratic equation:

</span>–0.004x² + x + 2.5 = 0
The general formula for quadratic equation is:
ax² + bx + c = 0

a = -0.004
b = 1
c = 2.5

x_{1,2} = \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{-1+/- \sqrt{ 1^{2}-4*(-0.004)*2.5} }{2*(-0.004)} = \frac{-1+/- \sqrt{1+0.04} }{-0.008} = \\ &#10;=\frac{-1+/- \sqrt{1.04} }{-0.008} = \frac{-1+/-1.02}{-0.008}

x_1=\frac{-1+1.02}{-0.008} = \frac{0.02}{-0.008} = -2.5 \\ &#10;x_2=\frac{-1-1.02}{-0.008} = \frac{2.02}{-0.008} = 252.5

Since distance cannot be negative (x1), the correct answer is x2 = 252.5 ft

Answer:

10.77 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By imaging an imaginery line at point before 1 units to be 4 units: b = 4 units

Therefore h = 11 - 1 = 10 units

Using Pythagoras theorem:

x² = h² + b²  = 10² + 4² = 100 + 16 = 116

x = √116 = 10.77 units
