G(x)= -3x+4
substitute x with -2
g(-2)= -3(-2)+4= 6+4=10
substitute x with 4
g(4)= -3·4+4= -12+4= -8
so g( -2)=10 and g(4) = -8
The value of g(-2) is larger than the value of g(4)
By the Pythagorean theorem
50^2 = x^2 +(x +34)^2
2500 = 2x^2 +68x + 1156
x^2 +34x -672 = 0
(x -14)(x +48) = 0
x = 14 or -48
The distance from the wall to the base of the ladder is 14 ft.
