Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

A dolphin is swimming with her friend. The dolphin jumps to a height of 4.54 meters above the surface of the water as her friend swims 9.8 meters directly below her. What is the position of the dolphin's friend relative to the surface of the water?

Solution

The dolphin jumps to a height of 4.5 meters above the surface of the water

Her friend swims directly 9.8 meters below her

The position of the dolphin's friend relative to the surface of the water= dolphins position above the surface of the water - her friend's position below her

=4.5 meters - 9.8 meters

= -5.3 meters

-5.3 meters means below the water surfaces

This means, the dolphin's friend is 5.3 meters below the water surface

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

answer: 0.1,0.85
