Answer:

t = 1.71825

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(t) = -16t^2 + 24t + 6

Required

When will the coin hit the ground

When the coin hits the ground, h(t) = 0

The expression h(t) = -16t^2 + 24t + 6 becomes

0 = -16t^2 + 24t + 6

Multiply through by -1

16t^2 - 24t - 6 = 0

Solve using quadratic formula

t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where

a = 16

b = -24

c = -6

t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t = \frac{-(-24)\±\sqrt{(-24)^2 - 4 *16 * -6}}{2 * 16}

t = \frac{24\±\sqrt{576 +384}}{32}

t = \frac{24\±\sqrt{960}}{32}

t = \frac{24\±30.984}{32}

Split

t = \frac{24+30.984}{32} or t = \frac{24-30.984}{32}

t = \frac{54.984}{32} or t = \frac{-6.984}{32}

t = 1.71825 or t = -0.21825

But time can't be negative;

So:

<em>Time to hit the ground is 1.71825 seconds</em>

Pavel [41]

Answer:

x+46

Explanation:

4(−8x+5)−(−33x−26)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=4(−8x+5)+−1(−33x−26)

=4(−8x+5)+−1(−33x)+(−1)(−26)

=4(−8x+5)+33x+26

Distribute:

=(4)(−8x)+(4)(5)+33x+26

=−32x+20+33x+26

Combine Like Terms:

=−32x+20+33x+26

=(−32x+33x)+(20+26)

=x+46
