Rearrange the equation to standard form of a quadratic equation (ax^2+bx+c=0) by switching sides: 5x^2+2x-12=0. Now, use the quadratic equation formula to solve. You should come out with x_1=sqrt61-1/5 and x_2=-1+sqrt61/5. Thus, your answer is B, or two solutions.
You would write 5/3 for it to be an improper fraction
Answer:
6.64 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Distance between roof of the terminal and ground = 709 feet
A bucket was dropped from the roof.
To find:
The time taken by the bucket to hit the ground?
Solution:
Distance traveled,
= 709 feet
Initial velocity of the bucket,
= 0 feet/sec (because initially it was at rest)
Acceleration of the bucket will be equal to acceleration due to gravity i.e.
or 32.1741 
Let the time taken is
seconds.
Formula for distance is given as:

Putting all the values:
