The answer is B.
In the question it says "the intercept of 6" which means the equation has to have +6 in the answer, and there is only one answer choice containing that.
As shown in the image, we have a 30 degree angle and x, which is what we want. By doing tan30, we can find x, so tan30=x/70 and 70*tan30=x= 70*sqrt(3)/3. 120-x=height of first tower = 120-(70*sqrt(3)/3) = roughly 79.59
Short Answer B
Argument
A
A will give you x = +/- 5i
x^2 + 25 = 0
x^2 = - 25 Take the square root.
sqrt(x^2) = +/- sqrt(-25)
x = +/- (5)i which is a complex number.
B
Is the answer
x^2 = 25
sqrt(x)^2 = sqrt(25)
x = +/- 5
C
Can't be factored just by looking at it. You can show that C is not true just by putting 5 into the equation
f(x) = x^2 + 10x - 25
f(5) = 25 + 10*5 - 25
f(5) = 50
C is not true.
D
D can be eliminated as C was
f(x) = x^2 - 5x - 25
f(5) = -25 ( l'll let you show this is not true). 5 is not a solution because it does not make f(x) = 0
Answer: 14+5x
Step-by-step explanation:
(18+8x) - (4+3x)
18+8x-4-3x
14+5x
