Change each of the fractions into decimals.
1/8 becomes 0.125
-1/7 becomes -0.143
and -0.02555
0.2
In order from least to greatest,
-0.143, -0.02555, 0.125, 0.2
OR
-1/7, -0.02555, 1/8 and 0.2

A graph shows zeros to be ±3. Factoring those out leaves the quadratic
(x-2)² +1
which has complex roots 2±i.
The function has roots -3, 3, 2-i, 2+i.

Answer:
4. True
5. False
Step-by-step explanation:
4. The number of x-intercepts produced by the quadratic formula may be 0, 1, or 2. It will be 0 if the two roots are complex. It will be 1 if the two roots lie in the same place (one root with multiplicity 2). It is true that there may be only one x-intercept.

5. The value of 'b' in the quadratic formula is the coefficient of the linear term. In the given quadratic, it is -5, not 5.

Answer:
a. 1.48 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find the larger value of t such that h(t) = 10.
-16t^2 +25t +8 = 10
16t^2 -25t +2 = 0 . . . . subtract the left side to get standard form
Using the quadratic formula, we find the values of t to be ...
t = (-(-25) ± √((-25)^2 -4(16)(2)))/(2(16)) = (25±√497)/32
t ≈ 0.08 or 1.48
The ball goes in the hoop about 1.48 seconds after it is thrown.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The quadratic formula tells us the solution to ...
ax² +bx +c = 0
is given by ...

Here, we have a=16, b=-25, c=2. Of course, our variable is t, not x, but the relation is the same.
