To solve for p, square both sides and move the equation to one side is equal to zero. Then factor. I chose -2 and -5 because -2 x -5 = 10 and -2 + -5 = -7. After factoring, solve p-5=0 and p-2=0. When one of those equals zero then the equation (p-5)(p-2)=0 is true.
ANSWER
5
EXPLANATION
The equation that expresses the approximate height h, in meters, of a ball t seconds after it is launched vertically upward from the ground is
To find the time when the ball hit the ground,we equate the function to zero.
Factor to obtain;
Apply the zero product property to obtain,
t=0 or t=5.1 to the nearest tenth.
Therefore the ball hits the ground after approximately 5 seconds.
Answer:
a = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
a = pt + q
p = -1
t = 4
q = 6
a = -1(4)+6
a = -4+6
a = 2
