Answer:

4metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the trail modeled by the function h(x) = -0.1x^2 - 0.3x +2.8 , where x is the horizontal distance in kilometers

The horizontal distance occurs at the x intercept i.e at h(x) = 0

Substitute

0 = -0.1x^2 - 0.3x +2.8 ,

Multiply through by -10

0 = x^2 + 3x - 28

x^2 + 3x - 28 = 0

Factorize

x^2 + 7x - 4x - 28 = 0

x(x+7) - 4 (x+7) = 0

(x-4)(x+7) = 0

x-4 = 0 and x+7 = 0

x = 4 and -7

Since the danced cannot be negative, hence the horizontal distance of the trail is 4m

By selling a chair for Rs. 1440 a shopkeeper loses 10%.At what price did he buy it?
Dvinal [7]
Selling price of the chair = 1440 rupees
Percentage of loss made by the shopkeeper = 10%
Let us assume the price at which the shopkeeper bought the chair = x
Then
90% * x = 1440 rupees
(90/100) * x = 1440 rupees
9x/10 = 1440 rupees
9x = 1440 * 10 rupees
9x = 14400 rupees
x = 14400/9 rupees
   = 1600 rupees
So the price at which the shopkeeper bought the chair was 1600 rupees. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to inderstand.
