Answer:
37.8metres
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc of the arrow can be modeled by the equation:
y=-0.02x²+0.65x+4
Where x is the horizontal distance (in meters) from Linda and y is the height (in meters) of the arrow.
The arrow hits the ground when its height (y) is zero.
Therefore, we determine the value(s) of x for which:
y=-0.02x²+0.65x+4=0
Using a calculator to solve the quadratic equation:
x=37.79 or -5.29
Since the distance cannot be a negative value, we ignore -5.29.
The distance from Linda when the arrow hits the ground is 37.8metres (to the nearest tenth)
The answer is D because it lines up with the y intercept
Substitute the values of a and b into the expression:
11 + 3 - 2
Add first because of order of operations (perform addition and subtraction in the order of occurrence from left to right):
14 - 2
Subtract (same justification as above just with subtraction instead):
12
Hope this helps!
