A= l*w
168= 14*w
Divide both sides by 14
168/14= 14w/14
12=w
Final answer: 12 ft (I'm not sure if you meant to switch the order of b and c).
The distance between the points is 10.4
Answer:
The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times
The solutions are x = -8 & x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Qaudratics are in the form 
Where a, b, c are constants
Now, let's arrange this equation in this form:

Where
a = 1
b = 4
c = -32
We need to know the discriminant to know nature of roots. The discriminant is:

If
- D = 0 , we have 2 similar root and there is 2 solutions and that touches the x-axis
- D > 0, we have 2 distinct roots/solutions and both cut the x-axis
- D < 0, we have imaginary roots and it never cuts the x-axis
Let's find value of Discriminant:

Certainly D > 0, so there are 2 distinct roots and cuts the x-axis twice.
We get the roots/solutions by factoring:

Thus,
The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times
The solutions are x = -8 & x = 4
Given that the probability <span>is
modeled by the function
![y=3(257,959)^x[tex] where x is the impurity concentration and y, given as a percent, is the probability of the fuse malfunctioning.\\Then, the probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17 is given by [tex]y=3(257,959)^{0.17}=3(8.316941)=24.95](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D3%28257%2C959%29%5Ex%5Btex%5D%20%20where%20x%20is%20the%20impurity%20%0Aconcentration%20and%20y%2C%20given%20as%20a%20percent%2C%20is%20the%20probability%20of%20the%20fuse%20%0Amalfunctioning.%5C%5CThen%2C%20the%20%3C%2Fspan%3Eprobability%20of%20the%20fuse%20malfunctioning%20for%20an%20impurity%20concentration%20of%200.17%20is%20given%20by%20%5Btex%5Dy%3D3%28257%2C959%29%5E%7B0.17%7D%3D3%288.316941%29%3D24.95)
Therefore, the <span>probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17 is 25% to the nearest percent.</span>
