Answer:

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

First: equalize the equation to zero

f(t) = -5t² + 20t + 60

-5t² + 20t + 60 = 0

Second: find its roots

-5(t² - 4t - 12) = 0

-5 (t - 6)(t + 2) = 0

$t - 6 = 0 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: t + 2 = 0 \\ t = 6 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: t = - 2$

Time can't be negative so the answer is: it takes 6 seconds to hit the ground

F(x)=-5t^2+20t+60
Divide everything by -5
f(x)=t^2-4t-12
(t-6)(t+2)
Set it up to zero
t-6=0. t+2=0
t=6. t=-2
Since you can’t have negative seconds, the answer is 6 seconds

What solid 3D object is produced by rotating the triangle about line m?

elena55 [62]

Answer: A cone with height 3 and radius 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, searching I found the image for the question, attached down below.

By rotating the triangle about line m, a cone with height 3 and radius 1 is produced.

Solid 3d objects are produced by rotating a 2d figure around a straight line that lies in the same place.

in our case, if we rotate the triangle around the line, the vertices in touch with the line m remains stationary, while the remaining vertex follows the path of a circle, creating a cone.
