Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a trapezoid, you can simply find the average of the two base lengths, but I can't help much without seeing the shape. Please add a picture of the shape.
Answer:
P(x) = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Root multiplicity of 2 means the root is repeated 2 times. Root multiplicity of 1 means root is repeated only once.
A polynomial of degree 3 means the largest exponent of x is 3.
Here, the polynomial P(x) has root 5 with multiplicity 2 and -5 with multiplicity 1.
So, P(x) = 
Where, 
is a constant.
Now, it's given that the y intercept is -87.5. Therefore, value of x at y intercept is 0.
We obtain by plugging in -87.5 for P(x) and 0 for x.
Therefore, the polynomial P(x) is given as:
It is 1,400 Since 14x100=1,400.
The rise or an increase in altitude is represented by positive sign and a decend or decrease in altitude is represented by negative sign.
First the helicopter descended 1200 feet. So the change in altitude will be -1200 feet.
Then the helicopter rose by 800 feet. So the change in altitude will be 800 feet.
Finally the helicopter descended by 450 feet. So the change in altitude will be -450 feet.
The net change in altitude will be the sum of all the above 3 changes.
Change in altitude = -1200 + 800 - 450 = -850 feet
The negative sign indicates a descend i.e. loss in altitude. So the net change in altitude was a loss of 850 feet.
