The answers are 3 and -13
You need to plug 3 and -5 into x
By doing this, you get :
12 - 3^2 and
12 - (-5)^2
those expressions equal
12 - 9
12 - 25
So you get
3
-13
Given:
The base of 40-foot ladder is 8 feet from the wall.
To find:
How high is the ladder on the wall (round to the nearest foot).
Solution:
Ladder makes a right angle triangle with wall and ground.
We have,
Length of ladder (hypotenuse)= 40 foot
Base = 8 foot
We need to find the perpendicular to get the height of the ladder on the wall.
Let h be the height of the ladder on the wall.
According to the Pythagoras theorem,





Taking square root on both sides.


Height cannot be negative. Round to the nearest foot.

Therefore, the height of the ladder on the wall is 39 foot.
Answer:
Rate of the current: 19 kilometers per hour
Rate of the boat in still water: 80 kilometers per hour
We need to multiply the factors (x - 2) and (x^2 + 9x + 10) to see if the product is the original expression given.
(x - 2)(x^2 + 9x + 10)
x^3 + 9x^2 + 10x - 2x^2 - 18x - 20
x^3 + 7x^2 - 8x - 20.
Since the product just found is not the original expression given, Jimmy is wrong.
I will complete the work on paper by synthetic division and post my answer.
After using synthetic division, the correct quotient is x^2 + 9x + 20.
