Any number that is less than 2 will work. It is impossible to find the square root of a negative number (you can only get imaginary number) since anything square is a positive number.
PS. If you are confused by the answer, just ask me.
(x<span> + </span>9)(x<span> – </span>1<span>) = 0. </span>x<span> = -</span>9<span> or </span>x<span> = </span><span>1</span>
To determine the time it takes for the maximum height to be achieved, derive the equation and equate to zero.
h = -16t² + 112t + 30
dh / dt = 0 = 2(-16)t + 112
The value of t is 3.5 s. Substitute this value of time to the equation for h,
h = -16 x (3.5 s)² + 112 x 3.5 s + 30 = 226 ft
Thus, the answer is letter D.
