Answer:

equate f(x) to zero to find the time t

-16t² +13.4t +120 = 0

Using the quadratic formula

t = -b ± √b² - 4ac/2a

a = -16t b = 13.4 c = 120

t = -13.4±√(13.4)² - 4(-16)(120)/-32

= -13.4 ± √ 7859.56/-32

t = - 2.35 or t = 3.19

Since time is positive

t = 3.19s

Hope this helps.

Answer:

-16t² + 13.4t + 120

= ( t-3.189)(t+2.352)

t = 3.189s or t = -2.352s (ignore)

ignore -2.352s because time cannot be in negative form

What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?
KatRina [158]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept is usually written as y = mx + b form, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the y value when x is equal to 0.

We can first eliminate C, because the y-intercept of the graph is 1.

To solve for slope, which is the m, choose two points, (-1, 5) and (1, -3).

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)  

           = (-3 - 5) / (1 - (-1))

          = (-3 - 5) / (1 + 1)

          = -8/2

          = -4

Plug in the slope and y-intercept, we get y = -4x + 1
