Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x + 3) = 15

Distribute the -5

-5x -15 =15

Add 15 to each side

-5x-15+15 =15+15

-5x = 30

Divide each side by -5

-5x/-5 = 30/-5

x =-6

A rocket is launched into the air and follows the path, h (t) = -3 * t^2 + 12 * t

DanielleElmas [232]

check the picture below.

so, the rocket will come back to the ground when h(t) = 0, thus

$\bf h(t)=-3t^2+12t\implies \stackrel{h(t)}{0}=-3t^2+12t\implies 0=-3t(t-4)\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\0=-3t\implies 0=t\impliedby \textit{0 seconds when it took off from the ground}\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\0=t-4\implies 4=t\impliedby \textit{4 seconds later, it came back down}$

For 0.3937 inch is it better to round to the nearest inch or to the nearest tenth inch? Explain

blsea [12.9K]

It is more appropriate to round to the nearest tenth inch because inches are normally whole numbers and when you are rounding off inches, you want to make sure that your answer is as simplified as possible so it is easier to calculate in the long run.
