a periscope is 5 feet above the surface of the ocean. through it can be seen a ship that rises to 50 feet above the water. to the nearest mile, the farthest away that the ship could be is ___ miles.

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

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.

0lz try yourself sorry for not answering

i think its a.

hope this
