X/26=28
•26=•26 (cancels each other out)
X=728
Using the slope concept, it is found that the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is of 437.4 feet.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
In this problem:
- The vertical change is x.
- The horizontal change is of 602 ft.
Hence, applying the concept:
tan (36º) = x/602
x = 602 x tan(36º)
x = 437.4.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Do FOIL, first outside inside last
3x × 3x = 9x^2
3x × -7 = -21x
7 × 3x = 21x
7 × -7 = -49

So it would just be 9x^2 - 49
