An airplane is preparing to land at the Oakland Airport. The plane is descending at an angle of 39 degrees and it is 4100 ft above the ground. Find the ground distance from the plane to the airport. Round to the nearest foot.

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.

the answer is 5/14.

hope this .
