A softball pitcher throws a softball to a catcher behind home plate. The softball player is 3 feet above the ground when it leav
es the pitchers hand at a velocity of 50 ft per second. If the softballs acceleration is -16ft/s^2, which quadratic equation models the situation correctly?
2x+3(x-2)-3(x-6)
You would first distribute.
So:
2x+3x-6-3x+18
Then you would combine like terms, like so:
2x+3x-3x= 2x
-6+18= 12
So it'd be:
2x + 12
Which is answer choice A
HOPE THIS HELPS!!(:
