4 0

Answer:

a = -2.872 and 3.272

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 5a^2-2a-47=0

Using the general formula;

a = 2±√2²-4(5)(-47)/2(5)

a = 2±√4+940/10

a = 2±√944/10

a =  2±30.72/10

a = 2-30.72/10 and 2+30.72/10

a = -28.72/10 and 32.72/10

a = -2.872 and 3.272

The quadratic function d = –2x^2 + 15 models a skateboarder’s distance, in feet, from the bottom of a hill x seconds after the s
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

After 1.87 seconds the skateboarder is 8 ft from the bottom of the hill.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function d = –2*x² + 15 models a skateboarder’s distance, in feet, from the bottom of a hill x seconds after the skateboarder starts moving down the hill.

You want to know after how many seconds the skater is 8 feet from the bottom of the hill. That is, with the distance being 8 feet, you want to calculate the time t. Replacing in the expression d by the value of 8 feet:

8=–2*x² + 15

Solving:

8-15 = -2*x²

-7= -2*x²

(-7)÷(-2)= x²

3.5= x²

√3.5=x

1.87= x

<u><em>After 1.87 seconds the skateboarder is 8 ft from the bottom of the hill.</em></u>
