Answer: 8.73 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following equation that models the motion of the rock:

Where
is the height of the rock at a time
.
Now, if
we can find
and then the velocity of the rock at that height:

Rearranging the equation:

Multiplying the equation by -1:

Solving with the quadratic formula
, where
,
,
.

Choosing the positive result of the equation:
Since velocity
is defined as the traveled distance
in a given time
, we have:


This is the velocity of the rock at the height of 48 feet
P=s1+s2+s3
Move +s1 to the other side. Sign changes from +s1 to -s1
P-s1=s1-s1+s2+s3
p-s1=s2+s3
Move s2 to the other side. Sign changes from s2 to -s2
p-s1-s2=s2-s2+s3
p-s1-s2=s3
Answer: p-s1-s2=s3

2.5 Is the answer. It is rounded to the nearest tenth.
M-(M x 0.16) and M-(.84) because the first one you need to multiply to find what 16% of m is then subtract that by m for the second one you subtract.
