Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
D. 5y^2 - 4y - 1
Combine like terms:
(y^2 -y +1) +(4y^2 -3y -2)
= y^2(1 +4) +y(-1-3) +(1 -2)
= 5y^2 -4y -1

<em>Refer to picture.</em>
Let the distance to men are x and y and the distance between them is d.
The angle of depreciation is 27° and 30°, hence top angle of the triangle is 63° or 60°.
<u>Find the distance from the tower to men:</u>
<u>The distance between men is:</u>
<em>Note, all numbers are rounded</em>
5 and 7
<u>Fast and loose</u>: 12 is written as a sum of two odd numbers as 1+11; 3+9; 5+7. The only consecutive pair is 5 and 7
<u>Let's use algebra</u>: let's call 2n+1 the first and 2n+3 the second.
Their sum is 2n+1 +2n+3 = 4n+4 = 12. Thus, n+1=3 and n= 2. It means the 2 numbers are 2x2+1 =5 and 2x2+3 =7
