Answer:
-5.5 hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
you subtract 2.5 from 8 and you get 5.5 but don't forget your negative so the answer would be x = -5.5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is

Observe that, the first two factors are from difference of two squares.


We expand the brackets using the distributive property to obtain;


The above function is now in standard form, since the terms are arranged in descending powers of
.
Answer:
12.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to this problem is trigonometry.
Imagine a right triangle. With a height, 10 ft (representing the tree's height), and a base of 7 ft (representing the horizontal distance to the worm).
Now the hypoteneuse length, or otherwise the distance from the worm is unknown.
So this is where we can use the pythagorean theorem.

here is the hypoteneuse length, and
and
are the other lengths of the triangle.
Since we know a and b we can solve for c.
But first we will square root both sides of the equation to get
and not
.

Now just plug in our values for a and b respectively. (It doesn't matter what number replaces a or b, just make sure you are replacing a and b with the 2 known values) Calculate.

Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
sqrt(x^2+81)=x+10
x^2+81=x^2+20x+100 (which is one of the options)
81=20x+100
-19=20x
x=-19/20
So there's the work done.
