-7-13k would be the answer
Answer:
The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

This is a vertical parabola open downward
The vertex represent a maximum
where
h is the height of the bird
t is the amount of time, in seconds, the bird had been in the air
For h=40 ft
substitute in the quadratic equation



The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem we have

so
substitute in the formula
therefore
The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time
I think you're having trouble because the equation you wrote for 8a has a slight typo.
The question says that the length is 9 less than twice the width. Your equation states the length is 9 times the width minus 2. So the length actually equals 2w – 9, meaning that w(2w – 9) = 180
Hope this helps! If you're still having trouble, let me know :)
