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

Please answer this question!I don’t understand it-Question number 2
Tasya [4]

Answer: The greatest depth of the Southern Ocean is 7.24

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if you add all the greatest depths up, you get 33.23

(33.23 + x)/5 = 8.094

Multiply each side by 5

33.23 + x = 40.47

Subtract 33.23 from each side

x = 7.24

You can check this by adding all the numbers up and dividing them by 5

40.47/5 = 8.094
