Answer:

C. 11, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I could have sworn I already answered this. Oh well. I guess I can answer it again. Simply plug in -3 and 3 for x, then find the absolute value [ALWAYS POSITIVE].

Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is:

s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160.

This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2.

Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet.

Answer:

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is given in the image attached. The steps are:

Step 1:

$2x-\frac{1}{4} -\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{55}{4}$

Step 2: simplifying the coefficients of x:

$2x -\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}\\\frac{10x-3}{5} -\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}\\\frac{7x}{5} -\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}$

Step 3: Adding 1/4 to both sides

$\frac{7x}{5} -\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4} =\frac{55}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\\ \frac{7x}{5}=\frac{55+1}{4}\\ \frac{7x}{5}=\frac{56}{4}\\$

Step 4: Multiplying both sides by 5/7

$\frac{7x}{5}*\frac{5}{7} =\frac{56}{4}*\frac{5}{7} \\x=10$

The addition property of equality states that if a number is added to both sides of an equation, the equation is still valid (i.e the equation is still the same). From the steps above, The addition property of equality was applied in step 3
