13-4x=1-x
13=4x+x=1-x+x
13-3x=1
13-1-3x=1-1
12-3x=0
12=3x
12/3=3x/3
4=x
Therefore, x=4
6 sec can take penny to strike the ground.
Solution:
Given data:
feet
feet

Re-arrange the terms from greatest degree to smallest degree.

We can solve it by applying quadratic formula,

Here a = –16, b = 48, c = 288




Now, write find two t's using plus and minus operation.


t = –3 (or) t = 6
We cannot write time is negative. so neglect t = –3.
Therefore t = 6.
Hence 6 sec can take penny to strike the ground.
The answer would be 25/9 as a improper fraction
Remember the equation to find the circumference?
Equation of circumference: Pi x 2(radius)
Therefore, 3.141592654 x 2(6ft) = 37.7 feet
