A flare was launched up from the ground with an initial velocity of 176 feet per second (ft/s). The height of the flare t second

s after launch is modeled by the function f(t)=−16t2+176t. How long was the flare in the air before it hit the ground?

The equation f(t) = -16t² + 176t is a quadratic equation, and so its maximum must be found at its vertex. In order to get this, you can use the formula 
t = -b/2a.
Substituting, we have:
t = -176/2(-16) = 5.5 seconds. 
But this is just only the time needed for the flare to reach its maximum height. To solve for the time the flare has been in the air, we multiply the maximum height by 2.

2 x 5.5 seconds = 11 seconds.

The equation ax^2+bx+c=0 has it's solutions given by x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}. This is the quadratic formula.

Looking at your equation we see a=1; b=-3 and c=-6 so by the quadratic formula,
x = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-(4 \times 1 \times -6)}}{2 \times 1} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+24}}{2}

I'm sure you can work out what 9+24 is and so find the correct option :)

Explain how solving $2x<-8$ is different from solving $-2x<8$ .
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

When we divide by a negative value, the sign for the inequality changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x < -8, to solve we would divide by 2 and receive x < -4. However, in solving -2x < 8, we would divide by negative 2, which would result in x > -4. Clearly, these sequences provide opposite answers and that is a rule to inequalities, that when dividing by a negative number, we must flip the less than/greater than sign.
