Answer:
3 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are figuring out when the water balloon will hit the ground, y will need to be equal to 0.
0 = - 16t² - 16t + 96
Now we simply factor the trinomial to find t.
0 = -16(t² - t - 6)
0 = (t - 3)(t + 2)
t - 3 = 0 ⇒ t = 3
t + 2 = 0 ⇒ t = -2
Since we are referring to time, we need to use the positive value. Therefore, the water balloon will take 3 seconds to hit the ground.
If the area of the paper is 625 sq in, the length of one side of this square is sqrt(625 sq in), or 25 inches. That's the min. side length of an easel that is to support the whole sheet of paper along its lowest side.
I got x < 2 for the inequality
