Answer:

The diver will be 8 feet from the end of the board when he hits the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diver hits the water when y = 0.

To find the distance, we have to find the values of x when y = 0.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this problem, we have that:

y = 2x^{2} - 9x - 56

2x^{2} - 9x - 56 = 0

So

a = 2, b = -9, c = -56

Then

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac = (-9)^{2} - 4*2(-56) = 529

x_{1} = \frac{-(-9) + \sqrt{529}}{2*2} = 8

x_{2} = \frac{-(-9) - \sqrt{529}}{2*2} = -3.5

It is a horizontal distance, so the answer is a positive value.

The diver will be 8 feet from the end of the board when he hits the water.

joja [24]

Answer:

203.20 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

StartFraction 8 inches Over question mark millimeters EndFraction = StartFraction 40 inches Over 1,016 millimeters

8 inches / ? Millimeters = 40 inches / 1,016 millimeters

8 × 1,016 = ? × 40

8,128 = 40?

Divide both sides by 40

? = 8,128 / 40

= 203.20

? = 203.20 millimeters

There are 203.20 millimeters in 8 inches

How in the heck do I do this?​
Fudgin [204]

The measure of a triangle is 180 degrees. In other words the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

To solve for x set all of the expressions of angles equal to 180 and isolate x

11x - 3 + 7x + 5 + 13x - 8 = 180

31x + (- 6 + 6) = 180 + 6

31x/31  = 186 / 31

x = 6

To find the measure of each angle plug 6 into the x into each individual expression

Hope this helped!
