In commutative property , we can add numbers in any order.

Here we are given with fractions

We can add or subtract fractions in any order

-\frac{7}{16} -\frac{1}{4} -\frac{5}{16}

We change the order of fraction that has same denominator so that we can add it more easily using commutative property

-\frac{7}{16} -\frac{5}{16} -\frac{1}{4}

The first two fractions have same negative sign and common denominator

so we add it

-\frac{12}{16} -\frac{1}{4}

Simplify the fraction 12/ 16

-\frac{3}{4} -\frac{1}{4}

Add the fractions

-\frac{4}{4} = -1

The function f(t) = −5t 2 + 20t + 60 models the approximate height of an object
kakasveta [241]
Plug in f(t) = 0. We do this because f(t) represents the height and a height of 0 means you're at the ground. 

f(t) =-5t^2 + 20t + 60 

0 = -5t^2 + 20t + 60 

-5t^2 + 20t + 60 = 0 

Now solve for t using the quadratic formula
