Explanation:
When something is subtracted from both sides of the equation, the justification is the <em>subtraction property of equality</em>. When something multiplies both sides of the equation, the justification is the <em>multiplication property of equality</em>. (This should not be a mystery.)
Here, the equation is solved by subtracting 17/3, then subtracting 1/2x, then multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x. After each of these steps is a simplification.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is at a height of 15, we simply sub in a 15 for the height in the position equation and solve for t:
and
Factor this however you factor a quadratic in class to get
t = .59 seconds and t = .85 seconds.
This means that .59 seconds after the ball was thrown into the air it was 15 feet off the ground. Then the ball reached its max height, gravity took over, and began pulling it back down to earth. The ball passes the height of 15 feet again on its way down after .85 seconds.
