Answer:
William was 0.5 points away from a perfect score.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the teacher didn't subtract 5 points, he would have 24.5 + 5 = 29.5 points.
30 - 29.5 = 0.5
William was 0.5 points away from a perfect score.
There are only 1*26 and 2*13 so there is no answer unless you allow decimals.
I believe your answer is 6 seconds.
Because the height of the ball = -16(x² - 5x - 6), when the height of the ball is 0, which is when it is on the ground, we can set -16(x² - 5x - 6) equal to 0. This also allows us to divide by -16, and then we can solve the equation:
x² - 5x - 6 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0
So x = 6 or x = -1, and because a quantity of time cannot be negative, x would have to be 6, which means it takes 6 seconds for the ball to reach 0 feet.
I hope this helps!
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.
Exact Form:
x=15/4
Decimal Form:
x=3.75
Mixed Number Form:
x=3 3/4
