Answer:

x= -3 +√2 ≈ -0.1716, and x = - 3 -2√2 ≈ -5.8284

Step-by-step explanation:

y= -1/2(x+3)² +4

For x -intercept, y = 0.

0 = - 1/2(x+3)² + 4 /*(-2)

0 = (x+3)² - 8

(x+3)² = 8

√(x+3)² = +/-√8

x+3 = +/-√8

x = - 3+/- 2√2

x= -3 +√2 ≈ -0.1716, and x = - 3-2√2 ≈ -5.8284

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

a) 4 - $vt - d = \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

b) 1 - $2(vt - d) = at^{2}$

c) 6 - $\frac{2(vt - d)}{t^{2}} = a$

Step-by-step explanation:

It simply asks the steps to go from the original displacement formula to isolate a (the acceleration). It's just a matter of moving items around.

We start with:

$d = vt - \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

We then move the vt part on the left side, then multiply each side by -1 (to get rid of the negative on the at side and to match answer choice #4):

$vt - d = \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Then we multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the 1/2, answer #1:

$2(vt - d) = at^{2}$

Finally, we divide each side by t^2 to isolate a (answer #6):

$\frac{2(vt - d)}{t^{2}} = a$
