- Quadratic Formula:
, with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant.
Firstly, starting with the y-intercept. To find the y-intercept, set the x variable to zero and solve as such:

<u>Your y-intercept is (0,-51).</u>
Next, using our equation plug the appropriate values into the quadratic formula:

Next, solve the multiplications and exponent:

Next, solve the addition:

Now, simplify the radical using the product rule of radicals as such:
- Product Rule of Radicals: √ab = √a × √b
√1224 = √12 × √102 = √2 × √6 × √6 × √17 = 6 × √2 × √17 = 6√34

Next, divide:

<u>The exact values of your x-intercepts are (-4 + √34, 0) and (-4 - √34, 0).</u>
Now to find the approximate values, solve this twice: once with the + symbol and once with the - symbol:

<u>The approximate values of your x-intercepts (rounded to the hundredths) are (1.83,0) and (-9.83,0).</u>
Y=90x+2,000
90 is the rate of change because the hot air balloon descends 90 feet per minute.
And 2,000 is the starting point because the hot air balloon started the descent at 2,000 feet.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula,

We substitute,
and

into the above formula to obtain the expression,


We now group the x and y terms on the Left Hand Side of the equation to get.


We now divide through by 2 to get,

Therefore the width of the rectangle is

40° + 7 = 47
180° - 47 = 133°
