Factor f(t) and you can identify the values of t for which the height is zero.
.. f(t) = -16t(t -3)
The projectile lands after 3 seconds in the air. (selection A)
Answer: Answer: The answer should be x = -1. Hope this helps!
The first step is to find the slope. Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,5) and (x2,y2) = (2,-1)
So,
x1 = -1
y1 = 5
and
x2 = 2
y2 = -1
will be plugged into the slope formula to get...
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-5)/(2-(-1))
m = (-1-5)/(2+1)
m = (-6)/(3)
m = -2
The slope is -2
Use m = -2 and one of the points to find the y intercept b. I'll use the point (x,y) = (-1,5) ---> x = -1, y = 5
y = mx+b ... slope intercept form
5 = -2*(-1)+b
5 = 2+b
5-2 = 2+b-2
3 = b
b = 3
The y intercept is 3
-----------------------------------
m = -2 is the slope
b = 3 is the y intercept
Therefore y = mx+b turns into y = -2x+3 as the equation that goes through the two points
Answer:
D) -4 (with imaginary roots ±2i)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you cannot take the square root of a negative number to produce a real result, the only option that has two imaginary roots is D) -4, where the two imaginary roots are 2i and -2i.
