ILL GIVE A BRAINLIEST TO WHO CAN SOLVE THIS HURRY I NEED IT TURNED IN IN 10 MINS similar to the others that have been answered b
ut different numbers. A billiard ball is struck by a cue. It travels 120 cm before ricocheting off a rail and traveling another 100 cm into a corner pocket. The angle between the path as the
ball approaches the rail and the path after it strikes the rail is 40 degrees. How far is
the corner pocket from where the cue initially struck the ball? Round your answer to the nearest centimeter.
The wording on this is not the best. It sounds like the 1 zero has even multiplicity (that's because of where the modifier is). On top of that it has an odd power. You could try this. y =x*(x^2+1)^2
The problem is not with the power. It gives x^5. The problem is with the multiplicity of the one place where it crosses. (X^2 + 1) does factor, but it gives a complex root. I'm not sure that's allowed. However, it is the best I can do.
