Solve:
"<span>twice the number minus three times the reciprocal of the number is equal to 1."
3(1)
Let the number be n. Then 2n - ------- = 1
n
Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:
2n^2 - 3 = n. Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.
We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.
Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3. Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:
disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.
That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
-(-1) plus or minus 5 1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
2(2) 4
x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.
You must check both answers in the original equation. If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.</span>

Input data
In any right triangle, the sine of an angle x is the length of the opposite side (O) divided by the length of the hypotenuse (H). In a formula, it is written as 'sin' without the 'e':
Answer:
h(x) = -16x² + 192x + 208
784ft
6 sec
13 sec
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
h(x) = -16x² +vx + h
here v represent velocity
represent initial height of launch
h(x) = -16x² + 192x + 208
b)
h(x) = -16x² + 192x + 208
here a = -16
b = 192
c = 208
x = -b/2a
= -192/2(-16)
= 6
plug this value in the equation
h(x) = -16(6)² + 192(6) + 208
= 784ft
e)
Plug h(x)=0 in the equation
0 = -16x² + 192x + 208
divide equation by -16
x² - 12x - 13 = 0
Factors
1x * -13x = -13
1x - 13x = -12
Factorised form
x² - 12x - 13 = 0
x² + x - 13x - 13 = 0
x(x+1) -13(x+1) = 0
(x+1)(x-13) = 0
x = -1
x = 13
Since time can not be negative so we will reject x = -1
