Tyler is a young, naturally gifted athlete. Unfortunately, his work ethic does not match his talent. When he finished sixth in a competition rather than his expected first or second place, he spent a great deal of time and energy telling people how the judges were biased against him. Tyler is using which of the following face-saving strategies?

Unjust intimidation

Explanation:

Unjust intimidation is defined as unfair way of behaving due to which a person loses his sense to perform as he/she is terrified.This is purposeful act so that the performance can be degraded or the person can get distracted due to terror.

In terms of face-saving process, unjust intimidation is used for saving image , dignity and reputation of self by blaming other person so that individual doesn't have to go through embarrassment.

According to the question,Tyler is blaming judges for unjust intimidation done by them which degraded his performance.This false blame is proposed by him so that he can maintain his dignity among people for receiving sixth position in match

x = 7

step-by-step explanation:

equating the expression for area to the given area

2x² - 7x - 4 = 45 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

2x² - 7x - 49 = 0 ← in standard form

to factor consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 49 = - 98 and sum = - 7

the factors are - 14 and + 7

use these factors to split the middle term

2x² - 14x + 7x - 49 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 7) + 7(x - 7) = 0 ← factor out (x - 7)

(x - 7)(2x + 7) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 7 ⇒ x = -

thus the positive value for x is x = 7
