Use the complex conjugate of (-7 + i) to remove the complex number from the denominator and then simplify.
See attached.
Since opposite exterior angles are congruent I would plug in numbers for X till you find a number that goes into both and gets you the same product.
Sandra lays 3.75 tiles in one hour
This must be on the moon as the acceleration due to gravity in this equation must be around 1/8 that on earth. :) Anyway...
h=-2t^2+9t+11
A)
dh/dt=-4t+9, when velocity, dh/dt=0, it is the maximum height reached
dh/dt=0 only when 4t=9, t=2.25 seconds
h(2.25)=21.125 ft (21 1/8 ft)
B)
As seen in A), the time of maximum height was 2.25 seconds after the squirrel jumped.
C)
The squirrel reaches the ground when h=0...
0=-2t^2+9t+11
-2t^2-2t+11t+11=0
-2t(t+1)+11(t+1)=0
(-2t+11)(t+1)=0, since t>0 for this problem...
-2t+11=0
-2t=-11
t=5.5 seconds.
3y - y + 8 - 2 = 20
3y - y = 2y
8 - 2 = 6
2y + 6 = 20
2y = 20 - 6
y = 10 - 3
the answer is: y = 7
