Answer:

t = 2.28 s

Step-by-step explanation:

h = 105 - 9t - 16t ^ 2

0 ft = 105 ft - 9t -16^t

To find the roots of a quadratic function we have to use the Bhaskara formula , the roots will give us the time it takes to reach zero height

ax^2 + bx + c  = 0

-16^t - 9t + 105 ft = 0 ft

a = -16    b = -9    c = 105

t1 = (-b + √ b^2 - 4ac)/2a

t2 =(-b - √ b^2 - 4ac)/2a

t1 = (9 + √(-9^2 - (4 * (-16) * 105)))/2 * (-16)

t1 = (9 + √(-81 + 6720))/ -32

t1 = (9 + √6639)/ -32

t1 = (9 + 81.84)/ -32

t1 = 90.84 / -32

t1 = -2.83 s

t2 = (9 - √(-9^2 - (4 * (-16) * 105)))/2 * (-16)

t2 = (9 - √(-81 + 6720))/ -32

t2 = (9 - √6639)/ -32

t2 = (9 - 81.84)/ -32

t2 = -72.84 / -32

t2 = 2.28 s

we have two possible values, we are only going to take the positive one, beacause we are talking about time

t2 = 2.28 s

Answer:

  $1015.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate formula for the payment amount (A) for principal P and interest rate r over time period t years is ...

  A = P·(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

Filling in the given numbers, you get ...

  A = 176,900·(.0482/12)/(1 -(1 +0.0482/12)^-300) ≈ 1015.67

Violet's monthly payment for principal and interest is $1015.67.
