H(t) = -16t² + vt + s

Where -16 is half of the gravitational constant of almost 32 ft/sec (downward, thus negative),

v is the initial velocity (90), and

s is the starting height (160)

so we have:

H(t) = -16t² + 90t + 160

How long before it hits the ground? Solve for h(t) = 0:

0 = -16t² + 90t + 160

Divide both sides by -2:

0 = 8t² - 45t - 80

Quadratic equation:

t = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / (2a)

t = [ -(-45) ± √((-45)² - 4(8)(-80))] / (2(8))

t = [ 45 ± √(2025 + 2560)] / 16

t = [ 45 ± √(4585)] / 16

throwing out the negative time:

t = (45 + √4585) / 16

t ≈ 7.04 seconds

A cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart. Which equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the p
ozzi

Answer: b. C = 5 × ($0.75 × 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Therefore, if a cleaning product sells for $0.75 a quart, the equation can be used to solve for the total cost, C , of five gallons of the product will be:

= 5 × ($0.75 × 4)

= 5 × $3

= $15
