6 sec can take penny to strike the ground.
Solution:
Given data:
feet
feet

Re-arrange the terms from greatest degree to smallest degree.

We can solve it by applying quadratic formula,

Here a = –16, b = 48, c = 288




Now, write find two t's using plus and minus operation.


t = –3 (or) t = 6
We cannot write time is negative. so neglect t = –3.
Therefore t = 6.
Hence 6 sec can take penny to strike the ground.
Answer:
the correct answer is x = 2
Distance Formula: 
Point 1: (9,0)
Point 2: (5,-8)
D = sqrt[ (5 - 9)^2 + (-8 - 0)^2 ]
D = sqrt[ (-4)^2 + (-8)^2 ]
D = sqrt[ 16 + 64]
D = sqrt(80)
Hope this helps!
Pretty sure it’s “b= p/2 - a” which is the second answer
The answer you are looking for is B. 15
