Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -|x + 9|
compared to
f(x) = |x|
has a graph that opens downward in an upside down V shape.
It has been moved 9 units left compared to the graph of f(x) = |x|.
It reflects over the x-axis.
9×2=18. add the tow zeros like this 9×2=18+00=1,800
The rock will hit the ground when y=0, so we need to solve this equation for its roots. To do that, we set it equal to 0:

Divide everything by -0.005 to clear out the decimals:

Now use the quadratic formula:


or

We want the larger x value since the smaller one is when the rock will reach the top of the hole.
