Answer:

d. 29ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem which states that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the opposite and adjacent sides of a right angled triangle and c is the hypotenuse side

From the attached image, Let the length of the rope be x

x^{2} = 8^{2}+ 28^{2} \\

x^{2} = 64 + 784

x^{2} = 848

x =\sqrt{848}

x = 29.12

x≈29

Find f(-2) for the function:<br><br> f(x)= 3x^2-1, x&lt;1<br> x+2, x&gt; 1
azamat
F(x) = 3x² - 1
f(-2) = 3(-2)² - 1
f(-2) = 3(4) - 1
f(-2) = 12 - 1
f(-2) = 11

f(x) = x < 1
f(-2) = -2 < 1

f(x) = x + 2
f(-2) = -2 + 2
f(-2) = 0

f(x) = x > 1
f(-2) = -2 > 1
f(-2) = -2 < 1
