Question

Graph the function d= sqr root sign 1.5h which gives the approximate distance d in miles to the horizon where h is the height of the viewers eyes above the ground in feet. Approximatly how high above the ground must a person be if the horizon is 17.2 miles away?

Answer 1

Answer 2

17.2 = sqrt(1.5*h)
17.2^2 = 1.5h
h = (17.2^2)/1.5

Answer 3

To solve a balanced equation, we must get the variable by itself. To do that, we'll do the opposite operation. In this case, we see a sqrt1.5h To get rid of the square root, we'll do the opposite operation, squaring. Of course, to keep the equation balanced, we will have to do the same thing to both sides.
