Answer:

The zeros, -1.48 and 1.48, represent the times where the egg is on the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots, or zeros, of an expression are the x-intercepts.  They are the points where the data crosses the x-axis.  The y-coordinate at these points is 0.  This means the height of the egg at these points is 0.

The values of a, b and c in this equation are -16, 0 and 35.  Using the quadratic formula,

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\=\frac{-0\pm \sqrt{0^2-4(-16)(35)}}{2(-16)}\\\\=\frac{0\pm \sqrt{0--2240}}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0\pm \sqrt{2240}}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0\pm 47.33}{-32}\\\\=\frac{0+47.33}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{0-47.33}{-32}\\\\=\frac{47.33}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-47.33}{32}\\\\=-1.48\text{ or }1.48

URGENT AND 98 POINTS, PLEASE EXPLAIN AND ANSWER
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because we have correlation in a relationship does not mean that we have causation. Therefore, we can not safely say that A or B are true.

Also, it is clearly not D as we have a strong correlation between the two and cannot safely assume that they have nothing to do with one another.
