Answer:

t is approximately 1.854049622 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

d = -16 t^2 + 55

Let d = 0

0 = -16 t^2 + 55

Subtract 55 from each side

-55 = -16 t^2

Divide by -16 on each side

-55/-16 =  -16 /-16t^2

55/16 = t^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(55/16) = sqrt(t^2)

We only take the positive square root because time must be positive

sqrt(55/16) = t

t is approximately 1.854049622 seconds

Answer:

Approximately  1.9 seconds   (correct to nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like the function is  d = -16t^2 + 55    ( you left out the t)

The answer is the value of t when d = 0 so we have the equation:-

0 =  -16t^2 + 55

16t^2 = 55

t^2 = 55/16

t = sqrt (55/16)

= 1.85 seconds

How do you know the correct order in which to evaluate algebraic expressions?
lys-0071 [83]
In solving algebraic expressions, there is an order in which to solve it.

1) perform the operation inside the parenthesis first  
2) then perform the operation with the exponents
3) apply multiplication and division from left to right of the equation.
4) apply addition and subtraction from left to right of the equation.

Remember this: PEMDAS for easier recall. (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)
