<h3>
Answer: B. 781.6 feet approximately</h3>
=======================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal portion is 400+166 = 566 feet. Label this as 'a', so a = 566. The vertical side is unknown, so b = x. The hypotenuse is c = 965
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2
566^2+x^2 = 965^2
x^2 = 965^2 - 566^2
x = sqrt( 965^2 - 566^2 )
x = 781.58108984289 which is approximate
x = 781.6 feet when rounding to one decimal place
Answer:
the slope or rate of change is 8 over 6 or 4 over 3 4/3
Answer: x = -7 or x = -4
Step-by-step explanation: When an equation has a squared term in it
such as x² + 11x + 28 = 0, it's called a polynomial equation.
The rule for solving a polynomial equation
is to first set it equal to zero, then factor.
Since this equation is already set equal to zero,
our first step is to factor the left side of the equation.
To factor x² + 11x + 28, we need the factors
of 28 that add to 11 which are 7 and 4.
So we have (x + 7)(x + 4) = 0.
Whenever two terms are multiplied together to equal zero,
this means that either one or the other must equal zero.
So if (x + 7)(x + 4) = 0, then either x + 7 = 0 or x + 4 = 0.
Solving each equation from here, we get x = -7 or x = -4.
So our solution is {-7, -4}.
