Need help with question 3. 27 points

Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Our function is

h(t) = -16t²+24t+72

To find how long it takes the roll to hit the ground, we must find the roots of this equation.  We first set the function equal to 0:

0 = -16t²+24t+72

Next we factor out the GCF.  The GCF of -16, 24 and 72 is 8:

0 = 8(-2t²+3t+9)

To factor the remaining trinomial, we find factors of -2(9) = -18 that sum to 3:

-18 = -1(18) or 1(-18); these do not sum to 3.

-18 = -2(9) or 2(-9); these do not sum to 3.

-18 = -3(6) or 3(-6); -3 and 6 sum to 3.  We will split 3t into -3t and 6t:

0 = 8(-2t²-3t+6t+9)

Group together the first two terms and the second two terms:

0 = 8((-2t²-3t)+(6t+9))

Factor out the GCF of each group.  The GCF of the first group is -t:

0 = 8(-t(2t+3)+(6t+9))

The GCF of the second group is 3:

0 = 8(-t(2t+3)+3(2t+3))

The common factor is now 2t+3:

0 = 8(2t+3)(-t+3)

Using the zero product property, either 2t+3 = 0 or -t+3 = 0:

2t+3 = 0

Subtract 3 from each side:

2t+3-3 = 0-3

2t = -3

Divide both sides by 2:

2t/2 = -3/2

t = -1.5

-t+3 = 0

Subtract 3 from each side:

-t+3-3 = 0-3

-t = -3

Divide both sides by -1:-

-t/-1 = -3/-1

t = 3

This means the roots are at t = -1.5 and t = 3.

This means the toilet paper hits the ground at -1.5 seconds and 3 seconds.  Since we do not have negative time, the correct answer is 3 seconds.

How do I find the surface area of a rectangular prism
uranmaximum [27]
Here you are the Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac

 (a, b, and c are the lengths of the 3 sides)

In words, the surface area of a rectangular prism is the area of the six rectangles that cover it. But we don't have to figure out all six because we know that the top and bottom are the same, the front and back are the same, and the left and right sides are the same.

The area of the top and bottom (side lengths a and c) = a*c. Since there are two of them, you get 2ac. The front and back have side lengths of b and c. The area of one of them is b*c, and there are two of them, so the surface area of those two is 2bc. The left and right side have side lengths of a and b, so the surface area of one of them is a*b. Again, there are two of them, so their combined surface area is 2ab.
