Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The answer for A is:

The answer for B is: The rocket will hit the lake surface in 5 seconds.
<h2>Why?</h2>
Defining the terms:

So, replacing it in the quadratic equation (it's given to you in the exercise)\\



We are working with a quadratic equation, so we will have two possible results,

Now, we are asked to find the time, time can not be a negative value, we have to discard X1 (-1) since it's a negative value, knowing that, the rocket will hit the lake after 5 seconds.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
X/4 +5/8 = 3/8
X/4 = 3/8-5/8
X/4 = (3-5)/8
X/4 = -2/8
Multiply both sides by 4 we get
4x/4 = -8/8
X = -1
