16. FISH CONSUMPTION From 1990 to 2002, the amount of fish F (in millions of pounds) caught for human consumption in the United States can be
modeled by
F -0.90714 + 28.013 - 25812 + 902t + 12,700
where t is the number of years since 1990. Graph the function. Use the graph
to estimate the year when the amount of fish caught first was greater than
14.5 billion pounds.

the reason why your question keeps getting deleted because this is not a school related question : )

i will answer your question though.

i never tried church's

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

its 50 miles away from the starting point
