Hey There!
The answer to your problem is or
both answers are correct!
<u>Step 1: Subtract x²+12 from both sides.</u>
−7x−(x²+12)=x²+12−(x²+12)
−x²−7x−12=0
<u>Step 2: Factor left side of equation.</u>
<u>Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.</u>

The answer to this question will depend on the function f itself. Basically you will find the height in meters above the ground of the bird when it jumped when the time t=0s. This is substsitute every t in the function for a value of zero and that way you will get the bird's height at the time it jumped. If you were given a graph for this function, you can find the y-intercept of the graph and that will be the answer as well. The question could be written like this:
A baby bird jumps from a tree branch and flutters to the ground. The function "" models the bird's height (in meters) above the ground as a function of time (in seconds) after jumping. What is bird's height above the ground when it jumped.
Answer:
25m
Step-by-step explanation:
Once your function is given, you can substitute t=0 since 0s is the time measured at the moment the bird jumped. So our function will be:
So the height of the bird above the ground when it jumped is 25m in this particular function.
