How far did the frog jump? the answer is one of the solutions of the quadratic equation
because that's where the frogs height is 0 (y=0) feet.
Use your favorite formula for quadratic equations. I got two solutions: 0 and 30. 0 is clearly the starting point and 30 feet is point where the frog lands.
The height is the maximum of the quadratic form. Use the formula for maximum x of a quadratic: xmax = -b/(2a) = -0.51/(2*0.017) = 15. The maximum at that point is ymax = 3.825
So, the correct answer is (a) 30 ft far and 3.83 high.
To add integers with different signs, subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value. Use the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value for the sum. The following steps will be useful to find the sum of two numbers with different signs.
