Answer:
450 feet at ground level
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of the bridge at ground level will be where the function intercepts the x-axis also known as the roots or zeros of the function. They are found using the zero product property to set each factor equal to 0.
This means (x-225) = 0 and (x + 225) = 0. So x = -225, 225.
This means the width is the absolute value of |-225| + 225 since distance cannot be negative. This makes it 450 feet.
Answer:
-1 -3i
Step-by-step explanation:
It is unusual to have two imaginary terms grouped together like this. Taking the question at face value, we treat i as though it were a variable, and collect terms in the usual way.
(-2i +3i) +(-1 -4i) = i(-2+3-4) -1 = -1 -3i
2x + y = 3
3x - y = 12
Add both equations
5x = 15, x = 3
2(3) + y = 3
6 + y = 3, y = -3
Solution: x = 3, y = -3... or (3,-3)
