<u>ANSWER</u>

<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The given expression is

Recall that:

We use the law of exponents to get

Let us multiply in the exponents to get:

Recall again that:

This implies that:

We expand the power to get:


We multiply out to get:

For this case, we can model the problem as a triangle with a right angle.
Where,
x, y: lengths of the sides of the triangle
d: hypotenuse of the triangle
We then have the following relationship:

Clearing d we have:
Answer:
A functions that would best model the situation above is:
D square root
Plug in 300 for C(x), to get:
300=

Then subtract to get: 0=

Then use the quadratic formula and plug everything in. Use a calculator to simplify.
