PLEASE HELP! The height of a basketball thrown by a 6 foot tall man follows a path defined by the function h(x) = -0.5x^2 + 3x + 6 h(x) = −0.5x^2 + 3x + 6, where x is the horizontal distance from where it is thrown. How far away from the basket should the player stand in order for the ball to go in the basket (10 feet high) on its way down? Show all work.

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

27

step-by-step explanation:

3/5

step-by-step explanation:

double number line is not a standard concept, so it must have been defined in your textbook. assume top line is numerator.

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
