Answer: 8.73 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following equation that models the motion of the rock:

Where
is the height of the rock at a time
.
Now, if
we can find
and then the velocity of the rock at that height:

Rearranging the equation:

Multiplying the equation by -1:

Solving with the quadratic formula
, where
,
,
.

Choosing the positive result of the equation:
Since velocity
is defined as the traveled distance
in a given time
, we have:


This is the velocity of the rock at the height of 48 feet
Answer:
10.8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
It is the first one, so where it is marked is already correct
A. This is the original equation: 2x + 3 - 1 = x + 5
b. 2x + 2 = x + 5 ← combined like terms on left side
2x + 2 - 2 = x + 5 - 2 ← used inverse operation to collect constants on right side
2x = x + 3 ←simplified each side
2x - x = x - x + 3 ←used inverse operation to collect variable terms on left side
x = 3 ← simplified each side
answer x = 3
c. 2(3) + 3 - 1 = 3 + 5
6 + 3 - 1 = 8
9 - 1 = 8
8 = 8
