Answer:
x = 11.85
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+(x-4)^2=202
x^2+(x-4)(x-4)=202
x^2 + x^2 - 4x - 4x + 16 = 202
2x^2 - 8x + 16 = 202
2x^2 - 8x - 186 = 0
Apply the quadratic equation and you'll get x as:
x=11.85 or x=-7.85
x cannot be negative
therefore x = 11.85

Answer:
4 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a quadratic equation in which the coefficient of
is negative, the parabola opens up and has a maximum point. This maximum point occurs at the line of symmetry.
Since the divers height, y is modeled by the equation

Step 1: Determine the equation of symmetry
In the equation above, a=-1, b=2, c=3
Equation of symmetry, 

Step 2: Find the value of y at the point of symmetry
That is, we substitute x obtained above into the y and solve.

The maximum height of the diver is therefore 4 meters.
Hi! Can you try sending a picture of the figure that this is referring to, so I can try answering the question?
Larry is a smart man, and he’s correct. (x+3)(4x-5)
