Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Ground level is where h = 0, so solve the equation ...
h(x) = 0
-5(x -4)^2 +180 = 0 . . . . substitute for h(x)
(x -4)^2 = 36 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -5, add 36
x -4 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . positive square root*
x = 10 . . . . . . add 4
The object will hit the ground 10 seconds after launch.
_____
* The negative square root also gives an answer that satisfies the equation, but is not in the practical domain. That answer would be x = -2. The equation is only useful for time at and after the launch time: x ≥ 0.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
.
1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)
The new equation is
. Subtract the numerators.
17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8
The improper fraction
simplifies to
.
