The second option is missing tails as an outcome.

The third option is missing blue.

The fourth option is missing tails.

So it must be the first one.

Multiply the two as area is base times height.
$(2x - 3)(x + 4) \\ 2 {x}^{2} + 8x - 3x - 12 \\ 2 {x}^{2} + 5x - 12$

The height of a ball thrown into the air after t seconds have elapsed is h = −16t2 + 40t + 6 feet. What is the first time, t, wh

<h3>The first time when the ball will reach a height of 20 feet is 0.42 seconds</h3>

Solution:

Given that,

The height of a ball thrown into the air after t seconds have elapsed is:

$h = -16t^2 + 40t + 6$

What is the first time, t, when the ball will reach a height of 20 feet?

Substitute h = 20

$20 = -16t^2 + 40t + 6\\\\-16t^2 + 40t + 6 -20 = 0\\\\-16t^2 + 40t -14 = 0\\\\16t^2 -40t + 14 = 0\\\\8t^2 -20t + 7=0$

Solve by quadractic formula

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}$

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=8,\:b=-20,\:c=7$

$t = \frac{-\left(-20\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-20\right)^2-4\cdot \:8\cdot \:7}}{2\cdot \:8}\\\\t = \frac{20 \pm \sqrt{176}}{16}\\\\t = \frac{20 \pm 4\sqrt{11}}{16}\\\\t = \frac{ 5 \pm \sqrt{11}}{4}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\ t=2.07915, \:t=0.42084$

Rounding off we get,

t = 2.08 , t = 0.42

Thus the first time when the ball will reach a height of 20 feet is 0.42 seconds
