The answer is p = (a - 4)/3
You want the (positive) distance when the height is 0, 0= -d^2 + 10d +5.
You would factor that out(You'd get radicals), and the final answer would be
<span>5±<span>30<span>−−</span>√</span></span><span>
You'd take the only positive one of the two, 5 + srt(30)
I hope I did that right :/</span>
"Since the ratio is 5:7 you can think in total there was 12 equal blocks of money invested. 5 of those blocks belonged to Jim and 7 of those blocks belonged to Gail. Since they invested $3,600 and then made $6,450 in total there is $10,050. Divide that total into 12 equal blocks of $837.50 and 5 of those blocks belong to Jim. So he will get $4,187.50"
