A boat leaves the dock and goes due west for 11.3 miles, it then changes direction and goes 23 miles with a bearing of 301°. What was the distance from the dock? *

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.

b. f(x) = –√x + 3this is the correct answer
