Answer:
It should be a graph of two branches, one on the top right, and bottom left, and the center of them should be at (-2, 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=(x^2-16)/(x^2-2x-8)
= (x+4)(x-4)/(x-4)(x+2)
=(x+4)/(x+2)
=((x+2)+2)/(x+2)
=1+2/(x+2)
So the center is at (-2, 1)
At 16 feet we have
16 = 3 + 30t - 16t^2
16t^2 - 30t + 13 = 0
t = [- -30 +/- sqrt(30^2 - 4*16*13) ] / 32
t = 1.20 , 0.68 seconds answer ( correct to the nearest hundredth)
Could you zoom out a little maybe? it looks like you cut off something in front of dot
