It takes 6 seconds for it to hit the ground.

0 = -5x²+20x+60

We can solve this by factoring.  First factor out the GCF, -5:

0 = -5(x²-4x-12)

Now we want factors of -12 that sum to -4.  -6(2) = -12 an -6+2 = -4:
0 = -5(x-6)(x+2)

Using the zero product property, we know that either x-6=0 or x+2=0; this gives us the answers x=6 or x=-2.  Since we cannot have negative time, x=6.

what is the final amount of 17.50 that is put into a saving account with 4 annual interest rate compounded yearly for 25 years?
pickupchik [31]
To find the total amount, you will use the formula for finding compounded interest.  This means you will be paid interest on top of the interest you have earned each year.

A = P(1 + r)^nt
P stands for the principal.
r is the interest rate when compounded annually
nt is the number of years

A = 17.50(1 + 0.04)^25
A = $46.65

This person would have $46.65 after 25 years.
