Answer: 4.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of wire l=7\ ft

Stake is at a distance of 5\ ft from the base of tree

suppose wire is attached y ft  above the base of tree

from the figure, we can write

\Rightarrow 7^2=5^2+y^2\\\Rightarrow y^2=49-25\\\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{24}\\\Rightarrow y=4.89\approx 4.9\ ft

Answer:

Thus # 2 is correct (5 (y + 4))/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(5 y (y^2 - 16))/(2 y (y - 4))

(5 y (y^2 - 16))/(2 y (y - 4)) = y/y×(5 (y^2 - 16))/(2 (y - 4)) = (5 (y^2 - 16))/(2 (y - 4)):

(5 (y^2 - 16))/(2 (y - 4))

y^2 - 16 = y^2 - 4^2:

(5 (y^2 - 4^2))/(2 (y - 4))

Factor the difference of two squares. y^2 - 4^2 = (y - 4) (y + 4):

(5 (y - 4) (y + 4))/(2 (y - 4))

Cancel terms. (5 (y - 4) (y + 4))/(2 (y - 4)) = (5 (y + 4))/2:

Answer:  (5 (y + 4))/2
