F(t) = -5t^2 + 20t + 60
-5(t^2 - 4t - 12)
-5(t + 2) (t - 6)
t = -2 or t = 6

Answer:

6 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function formula f(t)=-5t^2+20t+60 that models the approximate height of an object  t seconds after it is launched.

To find the number of seconds it will take the object to hit the ground, we need to find the zeros of our given function.

-5t^2+20t+60=0

Upon dividing our equation by -5 we will get,

t^2-4t-12=0

We will factor our given equation by splitting the middle term as:

t^2-6t+2t-12=0

t(t-6)+2(t-6)=0

(t-6)(t+2)=0

(t-6)=0\text{ or }(t+2)=0

t=6\text{ or }t=-2

Since time cannot be negative, therefore, it will take the object 6 seconds to hit the ground.

Gregory’s age is 5 years greater than of Amanda’s age. Gregory is 17 years old. If Amanda’s age is denoted by x, which equation
Mariana [72]
Let Amanda's age = x.
Gregory's age = x + 5.

Since Gregory is 17 years old.
17 = x + 5
x = 17 - 5
x = 12

Amanda is 12 years old.

It should be d. , Because if you take the equation 3x+y=9, and make it slope intercept form, it would be y= -3x+9. -3 is the slope, and 9 is the y intercept. D is the answer.
