Answer:
0.448 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
d = -16t² -4t + 412
find t when d = 407
substituting d = 407 into the equation:
407 = -16t² -4t + 412 (subtract 407 from both sides)
-16t² -4t + 412 - 407 = 0
-16t² -4t + 5 = 0 (multiply both sides by -1)
16t² + 4t - 5 = 0
solving using your method of choice (i.e completing the square or using the quadratic equation), you will end up with
t = (-1/8) (1 + √21)= -0.70 seconds (not possible because time cannot be negative)
or
t = (-1/8) (1 -√21) = 0.448 seconds (answer)
4 is the whole number equivalent. When dealing with an improper fraction or one that is "top heavy" you take the denominater (the bottom number) unto the numerator.
Two(2)goes into 8, 4 times, making it whole!
Subtract the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. The sum of all the angles of a triangle always equals 180 degrees. Write down the difference you found when subtracting the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. This is the value of X.
