Factored
(x^2 +6)(x^2 - 6)
(x^2 + 6)(x + sqrt (6))(x - sqrt (6))
F(t) can be factored to find the zeros.
.. f(t) = -5(t -5)(t +2) . . . . f(t) = 0 for t=-2, t=5
The object hits the ground after 5 seconds.
F it rose 10% that means that it is now worth 110% of what it was a year ago. So set up an equation: 297 = 110% of x297 = 1.1 x270 = x So it was worth $270 a year ago.
