It hits the ground at h=0

0=-16t^2-16t+96
undistribute -16
0=-16(t^2+t-6)
factor
0=-16(t-2)(t+3)
set to zero
0=t-2
2=t

t+3=0
t=-3, nope, we can't have negative time

at t=2, or 2 seconds

Answer:

2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : h = -16t^2 -16t + 96

To Find: after how many seconds it will hit the ground?

Solution:

The height of the balloon is given at time t :  h = -16t^2 -16t + 96

Now we re supposed to find after how many seconds it will hit the ground i.e. height will be 0 , h=0

Substitute h = 0 in the equation

0 = -16t^2 -16t + 96

0 = -16(t-2)(t+3)

t=2,-3

Since the time cannot be negative

So, it will hit the ground after 2 seconds .

Answer:

(b) 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error is the chances of percentage deviation that may differ from original population data. The margin of error for 95% confidence interval can be 6.25%. To find this we divide population standard deviation with square root of sample size. The margin of error is the estimate of the deviation from actual and real value of population.

Hi.

To formally answer your question:

D. y = 0.75<em>x</em> + 11

We can prove this by substituting <em>x</em> with 1 (the initial measurement)

y = 0.75(1) + 11 = 11.75
