That would be 177.5 in standard form.
If it has no real solutions, that means the graph does not intersect the x axis
since we have ax^2+bx+c=0, the parabola opens either up or down
since the vertex is in the second quadrant (x is negative and y is positive in this reigon) and the graph does not cross the x axis, the parabola must open up
if the value of 'a' is positive, then the parabola opens up
so 'a' must be positive
if it is translated to the 4th quadrant, then the vertex is now below the x axis
it will now have 2 x intercepts because the vertex is in the 4th quadrant and look at a graph of a parabola opening up with vertex in 4th quadrant and seehow many time it crosses the x axis
Plot a graph of y-axis against x-axis.
The graph should be a straight line passing through:
(-2,0.8) , (-1,-0.4) , (0,0) , (1,0.4) and (2,0.8)
Complete Question:
Kyle held a balloon 8 feet off the ground, straight above his head. Ava is standing 15 feet directly to the right of Kyle.
Write an equation using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x.
How far are Ava's feet from the balloon?
Answer:
Ava's feet is 17ft away from the balloon
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached image represents the scenario
Using Pythagoras theorem (from the attachment), we have:
Take square roots of both sides
