When it hits the ground, then h=0
find the xintercept or in this case the tintercepts
c=76
v=135
h=-16t^2+135t+76
use quadratic formula
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

a=-16
b=135
c=76
x=

x=

x=

aprox
x=-0.5297 or 8.967
exclude the negative root since you can't have negative time
means that it takes 8.97 seconds to hit the ground
2r2+2r−24=0
Step 1: Factor left side of equation.
2(r−3)(r+4)=0
Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
r−3=0 or r+4=0
r = 3 or r = −4
Yes, I agree with the researcher's method. All the values of
in the table correspond to the values of n by using their formula.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
If we substitute the values of n in the researcher's equation and we get the right values of
, we can agree with the researcher's method.
The researcher's formula is
Here
is the wombat population and n is the number of years.
Step 2:
When n = 1, 
when n = 2, 
when n = 3, 
when n = 4, 
when n = 5, 
As all the values correspond to the values on the table, I agree with the researcher's method.
