It will have 2 solutions! this is because a negative and a negative cancel each other out and will make a positive under the radical.
This is a proportion problem. Let the monument me x feet tall.
40/x=5/6
Cross multiply:
240=5x
x=48 ft.
So the monument is 48 ft tall,
4^6= 24
24 power 2=24x24= 576
Answer: r=(-189)
first you subtract both sides by 8 and get -21=r/9
then you multiply 9 with each side and get -189 = r
you can check by rewriting the problem with -189 as r and solving the equation
Answer) That graph is not a function
Explanation) The graph that you provided is not a function. It does not pass the vertical line test. The vertical line test is when you draw a vertical line (l) at any point on the graph and it should touch 1 or less parts of the graph. If you put the line at x=1, the vertical line only touches the graph at (1,8.5) but if you put the line at x=5, it touches (5,1) and (5,8.5) so it does not pass the test. You should be able to put the line anywhere and have it touch ONLY 1 point. There cannot be multiple of the same x values.
