You’re gonna have to use the quadratic formula here and a bit of thinking. We know y is height, and once it touches the ground, it will be 0.
(-b +- sqrt b^2 - 4ac)/2a
2 +- sqrt(4 + 48(400))/-32
(2 +- 138.58)/-32
We don’t want a negative time because it’ll make no sense. So do subtraction
(2-138.58)/-32 = 4.27 seconds aka 4.3 seconds
First you need to find the common denominator. Think of a number that both 2 and 5 can go in to evenly. 10 is the best number, so, make both denominators 10. What you do to the bottom, you must do to the top.
Now your equation is 5/10-2/10
Your answer is 3/10
A little more info please?
The equation is "x=0", because the x intercepts at the x axis with no y-intercept.
I have a sum because it is an addition problem
