Check the pictures below.
if we knew the roots/solutions of the equation, we can set h(s) = 0 and solve for "s" to find out how many seconds is it when the height is 0.
if you notice in the first picture, when f(x) = 0, is when the parabola hits a root/solution or the ground, for David he'll be hitting the water surface, and the equation that has both of those roots/solutions conspicuous is
h(s) = -4.9(s - 2)(s + 1).
The equation for inflation is
A = P*(1+r)^t
which is an exponential growth equation (if r > 0). If r < 0, then we have deflation.
where...
A = final price after t years
P = initial starting price
r = rate of inflation in decimal form
t = number of years
In this case,
A = unknown (we're solving for this)
P = 280 is the starting price
r = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5%
t = 2 years
We will plug these three pieces of info into the formula to get...
A = P*(1+r)^t
A = 280*(1+0.05)^2
A = 280*(1.05)^2
A = 280*(1.1025)
A = 308.70
Answer: 308.70 dollars
You can use the trigonometric identity
.
The requirement that
eliminates -1/6 from being another solution.
3.174 is closer to 3.2 because, when rounding, 0.07 rounds up to 0.2.
