The pattern will be at the same place at 2 feet, 4 feet, 6 feet, 8 feet, 10 feet, 12 feet, 14 feet, 16 feet, and 18 feet
F(x) = 2x² + x - 3
g(x) = x - 1
(f - g)(x) = (2x² + x - 3) - (x - 1)
(f - g)(x) = 2x² + (x - x) + (-3 + 1)
(f - g)(x) = 2x² - 2
The answer is D.
You want the (positive) distance when the height is 0, 0= -d^2 + 10d +5.
You would factor that out(You'd get radicals), and the final answer would be
<span>5±<span>30<span>−−</span>√</span></span><span>
You'd take the only positive one of the two, 5 + srt(30)
I hope I did that right :/</span>
