Answer:
It's (very roughly) 12 hours from one high tide to the next, and of course the same for low tides. That's because the tides produced when the Moon is directly overhead or in the opposite direction are the same. Same with two low tides, since there are two tides a day (both low and high).
Sounds as tho' you have an isosceles triangle (a triangle with 2 equal sides). If this triangle is also a right triangle (with one 90-degree angle), then the side lengths MUST satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.
Let's see whether they do.
8^2 + 8^2 = 11^2 ???
64 + 64 = 121? NO. This is not a right triangle.
If you really do have 2 sides that are both of length 8, and you really do have a right triangle, then:
8^2 + 8^2 = d^2, where d=hypotenuse. Then 64+64 = d^2, and
d = sqrt(128) = sqrt(8*16) = 4sqrt(8) = 4*2*sqrt(2) = 8sqrt(2) = 11.3.
11 is close to 11.3, but still, this triangle cannot really have 2 sides of length 8 and one side of length 11.
Answer:
The corrrect answer is -16 and +3
The 4 functions are:




Let's keep in mind that for large values of x, a quadratic function grows faster than a linear function:

for large values of x
In this problem, we can see that the only quadratic function is

, while all the others are linear functions, so the function that grows faster for large values of x is
