Answer: The diver will hit the water after 0.4 seconds.

This is an example of a quadratic equation. It is in the shape of an upside down parabola.

Our goal is to solve the following equation:  0 = -16x^2 - 16x + 9

To do this, we can use the quadratic formula. The variables are:
a = -16
b = -16
c = 9

It will be: 16 +/- The square root of (-16)^2 - 4(-16)9 all divided by 2(-16).

This will give a positive answer of 0.4 seconds.

Answer:

4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

20/5 = 4/1

Therefore, Molly travels 4 miles per hour.

The total amount of paint needed is 15 quart and it cost $41.25.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

0.0015 quart of paint to cover 1 square inch.

Let the area of the rectangle be 10000 in², hence:

Amount of paint = 0.0015 quart per in² * 1000 in² = 15 quart

Cost of paint = $2.75 per quart *  15 quart = $41.25

The total amount of paint needed is 15 quart and it cost $41.25.
