Docking a Boat A boat is pulled toward a dock by means of a rope wound on a drum that is located 3 ft above the bow of the boat. If the rope is being pulled in at the rate of 6 ft/s, how fast (in ft/s) is the boat approaching the dock when it is 18 ft from the dock? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

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.
