The Pythagorean theorem computed shows that the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot, is 207 ft.
<h3>How to solve the length?</h3>
Here, we have two similar right triangles, ΔABE and ΔCDE.
CD = 11 ft
DE = 2 ft
BD = 35 ft
First, find AB:
AB/11 = (35 + 2)/2
AB/11 = 37/2
Cross multiply
AB = (37 × 11)/2
AB = 203.5 ft
Then, apply Pythagorean Theorem to find AE:
AE = √(AB² + BE²)
AE = √(203.5² + 37²)
AE = 207 ft
Therefore, the length of the guy wire is 207 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:
1. move the decimal to make the numbers whole
0.25 - move to the right 2 times - 25
0.044 - move to the right 3 times - 44
2. Multiply 25 * 44 = 1,100
3. Add decimal
you moved the decimal 6 times in total for both numbers...so move the decimal 6 times starting from right.

Answer:
a) x = -1, x = 4
b) y = x^2 -3x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We observe the x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 4. These are the solutions to y = 0, which is usually what we want in cases like this.
The solutions are x=-1 and x=4.
__
b) We know two of the factors are (x +1) and (x -4). There may be an additional constant factor for vertical scaling. One point we can check is the y-intercept.
y = a(x +1)(x -4)
For x=0, this is ...
y = a(1)(-4) = -4a
The y-intercept is y = -4, so we have a=1.
The factored equation is ...
y = (x +1)(x -4)
Multiplying this out gives the equation in standard form:
y = x^2 -3x -4
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
Your teacher may want the standard form equation to be ...
x^2 -3x -4 = 0
This is the equation of two specific points: x=-1 and x=4. It is not the equation of the graph.
