Question

Number 16 plz and don't answer if you don't know I'll report you

Answer 1

Answer:

a =  5 seconds and b = 50 inches c = No, because it starts at 50 inches and only goes down after that. This means it will never be at 120 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Solve it as a quadratic equation where h = 0 (because it will be 0 inches above the water).

0 = - 16t^2 + 70t + 50

0= -2(8t^2 - 35t -25)

0= -2(t - 5)(8t + 5)

Since the amount of time has to be positive, t - 5 = 0, so t = 5 seconds

B. Substitute t = 0 into the equation.

h = -16(0)^2 + 70(0) + 50

h = 0 + 0 + 50

h = 50 inches

C. It's diving, so it's only going down and won't reach 10 feet.
