1/x+1/a=1/a
minus 1/a from both sides
1/x=0
false
let's try a differnt way
1/x+1/a=1/a
times both sides by xa
a+x=x
minus x from both sides
a=0
???
1/0 is undefined
this creates problems

The height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation h = -16t^2 + 24t + 16, where t is the time in seconds
boyakko [2]

The rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that the height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation h=-16t^2+24t+16, where t is the time in seconds after the rock is thrown.

We need to determine the time at which the rock will hit the ground.

To determine the time, let us equate the height h = 0 in the equation h=-16t^2+24t+16, we get,

0=-16t^2+24t+16

Switch sides, we have,

-16 t^{2}+24 t+16=0

Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.

Thus, we have,

t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{24^{2}-4(-16) 16}}{2(-16)}

Simplifying, we get,

t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{576+1024}}{-32}

t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{1600}}{-32}

t=\frac{-24 \pm 40}{-32}

Hence, the two values of t are

t=\frac{-24 + 40}{-32}   and   t=\frac{-24 -40}{-32}

Simplifying the values, we get,

t=\frac{16}{-32}  and  t=\frac{-64}{-32}

Dividing, we get,

t=-\frac{1}{2}  and  t=2

Since, t cannot negative values, we have,

t=2

Thus, the rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

PLEASE HELP PLS!!!!!
Alisiya [41]
Subtitute f(x) with 2x + 1, and subtitute g(x) = -x + 4
f(x) = g(x)
2x + 1 = -x + 4

Then solve the equation above to find the value of x
Move the coefficient-variable x to the left side, and move the constants to the right side. When they are moved, addition becomes substraction, substraction becomes addition
2x + 1 = -x + 4
2x + x = 4 - 1

Simplify the equation
2x + x = 4 - 1
3x = 3

Move 3 on the left side to the right side, it becomes denominator
3x = 3
  x = 3/3
  x = 1

The solution to the equation is
x = 1
