Answer:

Elimination

x = 2

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination

2x + 4y = -4

2x - y = 6

Subtract the second equation from the first

5y = -10

Divide both sides by 5

y = -2

---------------------

Substitute for y = -2 in the second equation

2x - -2 = 6

2x + 2 = 6

subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 2

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

5.3 s

Step-by-step explanation:

a) since the height is defined by a function, we can find the turning point of the quadratic , which is where the ball will have the highest point. The turning point is where the gradient is equal to zero so we differentiate first

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 168t + 45\\h'(t)= -32t+168\\0=-32t+168\\t=5.3s$
