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

What’s Distribute -x(5x+2)
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

-5x^2-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

When distributing, you multiply the term outside the brackets to all the terms in brackets.

If the term outside the bracket is negative, then when distributing/opening the brackets, the signs of the terms changes.

So in this prob. -x would multiply to both +5x and +2

-x*5x+-x*2

∴-5x^2-2x

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

First one: Degree of 13, type monomial

Second one: Degree of 5, type trinomial

Third one: Degree of 8, type trinomial

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest degree of its individual terms. To determine the degree of a term, add up the power values of the variables.

The type of the polynomial is determined by how many terms are being separated by an addition sign ( a subtraction sign is just the addition of the inverse of a number).

One term: Monomial

Two terms: Binomial

Three terms: Trinomial

Four terms and so on: Generally just called polynomials
