You can only add like terms
exg
you can addd
2+4
2x+4x
2x^2+4x^2
2x^3+4x^3
but not
2+4x
2x^2+2x^3
so when adding like terms keep the exponent
4x+2x=6x
4x^3+2x^3=6x^3
(7x^2+4x-7)+(4x^2-6x+4)
get rid of the parenthasees
7x^2+4x-7+4x^2-6x+4
group like terms (x^2 with x^2 x with x, etc)
(7x^2+4x^2)+(4x-6x)+(-7+4)
add like terms
11x^2-2x-3
Answer: When t = 4.25 R(t) = D(t)
This tells you that at 4.25 seconds into their flights, both the Rocket and the Drone were at a height of 20 feet.
Step-by-step explanation: The point where the two graphed lines cross is where the values are equal.
The Drone has been hovering at 20 feet between 2 and 5 seconds. The Rocket passed through that height for a brief (millisecond) time as it was falling back to the ground.
Without grid lines it is my best estimation (using a ruler to create a verticla line from the intersection of the lines to the time scale) that t = 4.25. It is between 4 and 4.5 seconds.
The distance is 14 between coordinates'
15/16 as a fraction or 3.125 as a decimal
