Answer:

That factors into:

(p +8) * (p +8) =0

Therefore, p = -8 and p = -8

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

When you factor, you just find two numbers that add to be the first number (16) and multiply to be the second number (64). 8 and 8 both do this. So when we factor, we also add the variable into each equation because it also has been divided into two equations, and we get: (p + 8)(p +8). Notice that the equations are "+8" and not "-8" because two +8s add to give us a +16 and multiply to give us a +64. After that, we just solve the two equations to find the solutions. Subtract 8 from each equation (we do the opposite operation because 8 is positive) to get -8. Because the answer for each equation is the same our answer is -8.

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

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.

Answer correctly for the brainliest answer

Dahasolnce [82]

Similar triangles so AC:BC=AE:DE

15+6=21 = AE

15:12.5=21:?

to get from 15 to 12.5 you divide by 15 and times by 12.5 so do this the to the other side

21/15=1.4

1.4 x 12.5=17.5

So DE=17.5
