A baseball is thrown in the air from center field to home plate. The path of the baseball is represented by the equation p(x)=−7 x2+52x+99. How long will it take for the ball to get to home plate? Tell me what steps went wrong as I solved this problem. Explain how to fix it.
Problem:
P(x) = -7x2 +52x+99
Step 1: -7x2 +52x+99 = 0
Step 2: a = -7 b = 52 c = 99
Step 3: −52±(52)2−4(−7)(99)√2(−7)
Step 4: −52±5476√14
Step 5:−52±7414
Step 6: x = 117 x = - 9
Answer: 117 seconds

Answer:
steps 3 went wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
the quadratic is
(-b +/- √ ( b^2 - 4ac) )/2a
-52 + √( 2704 +2772) /-14
-52 +74) / -14 = -22/14 = -11/7
-52 -74 / -14 = -126/-14 = 9

The answer to the question
Answer:
The constant between two consecutive terms is called the common difference. The common difference is the number added to any one term of an arithmetic sequence that generates the subsequent term.
Is this what you were asking for?
Always when division with fractions, always move the decimal to the left.
Answer:
I do not know what you just said so I assume your asking if 3 is less than 5 and yes 3 is less than 5
