Answer:
As per the statement:
The path that the object takes as it falls to the ground can be modeled by:
h =-16t^2 + 80t + 300
where
h is the height of the objects and
t is the time (in seconds)
At t = 0 , h = 300 ft
When the objects hit the ground, h = 0
then;
-16t^2+80t+300=0
For a quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0 ......[1]
the solution for the equation is given by:

On comparing the given equation with [1] we have;
a = -16 ,b = 80 and c = 300
then;


Simplify:
= -2.5 sec and
= 7.5 sec
Time can't be in negative;
therefore, the time it took the object to hit the ground is 7.5 sec
Answer:
Maria needs 3 lengths of gutter of finish the shed.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular shed to know how much 5 feet gutter is needed.
The perimeter of the shed is p = 2(l + b) where l = 10ft and b = 9 ft
p = 2(10 + 9) = 2(19) = 38 ft
Now, the perimeter of the shed also equal 23 ft of gutter already installed plus 5x ft gutter where x = number of gutters.
So 23 + 5x = 38
collecting like terms, we have
5x = 38 - 23
5x = 15
dividing through by 5 we have
5x/5 = 15/5
x = 15/5
x = 3
So, Maria needs 3 lengths of gutter of finish the shed.
N is 7.5 because prq is 3x the size of abc
