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.

Jose wants to build a rectangular kennel for his dog. His dad will let him use a spot in the corner of the yard that is 12 feet
Butoxors [25]
Hello!

We don't need to find the exact perimeter of the fencing, just an estimate.

We will round 12 ft 3 in to 12 ft, because it is closer to 12 ft than 13 ft.

We will also round 8 ft 11 in to 9 ft because there are 12 inches in a foot, which makes 9 ft closer.

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l × 2w

The length is about 12 feet and the width is about 9 feet.

Substitute the length and width:

P = 2(12) + 2(9)

Solve:

P = 24 + 18

P = 42

Jose will need about 42 feet of fencing.

Answer: 20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mirror is set away from the flagpole on the same scale set away from her.

The distance she stand's away from the mirror is 1/4 of the length of the distance between the mirror and the flag pole because she's 1/4 of the flagpole's size.

This means her size x4 is the size for the flag pole. This checks out because 12x4=48

So to find the height we must do 5x4

5x4=20

What is the solution to the equation?
Lisa [10]
3q + 5 = -2q + 20

add 2q to both sides.

5q + 5 = 20

subtract 5 to both sides.

5q = 15

divide 5 to both sides.

q = \frac{15}{5}

the answer is: q = 3
