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.

a parking garage has 6 levels. Each level has 15 row. Each row has the same number of parking spaces. there are 2,250 parking sp
Mandarinka [93]
To start with, we know there’s a definite amount of parking spaces in all(2,250) and we also know each level(6 in all) had 15 rows of parking spaces.

Equation

A = Parking spots per row


A = 2,250 Divided by(6 levels times 15 rows)

A= 2,250 Divided by 90


A = 25

The correct answer is 25 parking spots per row

To check this answer we can do

25 spots per row, Times 15 rows per level, Times the total amount of levels (6)

= the total amount of parking spots

25*15*6= 2,250

True


This confirms this answer as correct. Hope this helps.
