19. It notes or hints to using the quadratic formula because the equation can not be solved by factoring alone. Thus you must use the quadratic formula.
A=-16 B=25 C=3
It is so hard to type a normal equation let alone one of the quadratic formula so I will just attach a picture instead.
However you will end up getting two roots/zeros/x-intercepts of -0.11 and 1.67.
However since it is an application question asking for answers only in the first quadrant you must choose the positive x-intercept.
Therefore the water balloon will land at 1.67 seconds.

20. This question is very simple as it asks you to find a height at a given time. You simply put the given time (1second) into the equation and get your answer.
h=-16(1)^2+25(1)+3
h=12

Also don't mind my little scribble there. :)

-3×+7y=5<br> -8×+14y=-10<br> By elimination

dimaraw [331]

-3x+7y=5 (x2) -> -6x+14y=10

-6x+14y=10
-8x+14y=-10
——————— -
2x=20
x=20/20
x=1

Susbstitute x=1,

-8x+14y=-10
-8(1)+14y=-10
-8+14y=-10
14y=-10+8
14y=-2
y=-2/14
y=-1/7

I hope it helps

1. Which statement best describes the polynomial 2x^3-4?

anastassius [24]

X cube means it is a third degree function. 2x cube is 1 term and -4 is another. so B.
