Answer:

<em>t = 3 seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation, as a function of time, that describes the height of the object that is dropped from the bridge.

The equation is:

h (t) = 144 - 16t ^ 2

Where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet.

To know how long it takes the object to fall to the ground we do h (t) = 0 and solve for t.

So:

0 = 144 - 16t ^ 2\\\\16t ^ 2 = 144\\\\t ^ 2 = \frac{144}{16}\\\\t ^ 2 = 9\\\\t_1 = 3\\t_2 = -3

We take the positive solution.

Therefore the object takes 3 seconds to reach the ground

liq [111]

Answer:

(2P + G) feet/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the panda = P

Speed of the giraffe = P + G

Thus,

Speed of Panda + Speed of Giraffe = approaching time

= P + P + G

= <u>2P + G</u>

Thus, The panda and the giraffe are approaching each other at a rate

of <u>(2P + G) ft/min</u>

<u></u>
