Phil is standing x+5 feet from the base of a building. the height of the building is 6x−1 feet. find the function that the straight-line distance from phil's feet to the top of the building in terms of x. enter the simplified function.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To compute the required distance, using properties of triangles

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

convert to expanded form

square root both sides

Convert to function notation

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
