Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth. A rocket is launched from atop a

76-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 135 ft/s. a. Substitute the values into the vertical motion formula h=-16t2+vt+c Let h = 0. b. Use the quadratic formula find out how long the rocket will take to hit the ground after it is launched. Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

When it hits the ground, then h=0
find the xintercept or in this case the tintercepts
c=76
v=135

h=-16t^2+135t+76
use quadratic formula

ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

a=-16
b=135
c=76

x=\frac{-135+/- \sqrt{135^2-4(-16)(76)} }{2(-16)}
x=\frac{-135+/- \sqrt{18225+4864} }{-32}
x=\frac{-135+/- \sqrt{23089} }{-32}
aprox
x=-0.5297 or 8.967
exclude the negative root since you can't have negative time

means that it takes 8.97 seconds to hit the ground

Two angles in a triangle add up to 85 degrees what is the size of the third angle
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

180-85=95

-9=-3(x+2)<br>solve for x <br>show steps
lianna [129]

SimplifyOkie dokie so first things first, you have to get rid of those parentheses! To do this you use the distributive property. -3(x+2) is the same thing as -3(x)+-3(2). that and you get -9=-3x-6. So you want to get x by itself to be able to find what x is, so you add 6 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -6. So then you get -3=-3x. Then you must divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which would be -3. When you divide both sides by -3 you get -3/-3=x, which is the same thing as 1=x. Hope this helped!

Which sale gives the greatest percent discount? 20% off the original price. 75% of the original price. Original price reduced by
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

75% off the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

No it doesn't depend on the original price.Why, because when it says original price reduced by 30%, that basically means 30% off the original price.Let's say the original price is $100, okay 20% off the original price is only $20 off, 75% off of the original price is $75 off, and to have the original price reduced by 30% means the price goes from 100 to 70, but the price would be $25 in this case after getting 75% off.
