Recall that
. So

Given that both
and
, and knowing that
, it follows that we should expect
, so we take the positive root above.
Now

Then

Answer:
The sum −3 is an indication that Sally is 3 feet below her initial position.
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the distances going up (ascend) as positive and distances going down (descend) as negative so that the sum is:
224 + (-131) + 67+ (-163)
Add by using the commutative property:
224 + 67 + (-131) + (-163) = 291
The sum −3 is an indication that Sally is 3 feet below her initial position.
56000 is the answer because 10 to the third power is 1000. and 1000×56 is 56000
