Answer: 103/15
Step-by-step explanation:
We can simplify the right-hand side to be
.
This means we need to solve:

The width is x
<span>The length is x+60 </span>
<span>so x(x+60) = 16000
</span>
<span>x^2 + 60x = 16000
</span>
<span> </span>
<span>x^2 + 60x + 900 = 900+16000
</span>
<span>(x+30)^2 = 16900
</span><span> </span>
<span>x+30 = 130
</span>
<span>x = 100
So your answer is 100. </span>
0.096 = Ninety-six thousandths
Answer:
4 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
using the vertex formula of a quadratic,
, where (h,k) is the vertex
h is height and t is time in seconds
the vertex (maximum height) of the dolphin is (h,k) or (0.5, 2)
Height of 1/2
time of 2 seconds
it will take 2 additional seconds to reach the water again.
this can also be solved using quadratic equation, but since it was already set up in vertex form, i'd use that.
