Step-by-step explanation:

h = -490t² + 1470t

When h = 980:

980 = -490t² + 1470t

Simplifying:

0 = -490t² + 1470t - 980

0 = t² - 3t + 2

Factoring:

0 = (t - 1) (t - 2)

t = 1, 2

There are two solutions because the rocket first reaches the height of 980 cm as it's going up at 1 second, then it reaches that height again as it's coming down at 2 seconds.

Answer:

x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

x - (-5)= - 23

you would do the opposite of -5 which is positive 5 and you would add 5 to the negative 5 to cancel out that -5 and add 5 to the -23 which gives you -18 so x = -18

Hope this helps!
