Algebra Problem Please Help?
Any help will be much appreciated. Haven't taken algebra in about 10 years so i'm really having trouble..
Thanks Guys!
If an object is dropped from a height of 144 feet, the function h(t) = -16t^2 + 144 gives the height of the object after t seconds. When will the object hit the ground?
A. 9 s
B. 6 s
C. 1.5 s
D. 3 s
Solve the system of equations.
y = -0.04x^2 + 8.3x
y = 1.12x + 1.6
A. no solution
B. (0.22, 1.85)
C. (179.28, 202.39)
D. (0.22, 1.85) and (179.28, 202.39)
What are the solutions of the equation?
c^2 - 10c = 0
What are the solutions of the system?
y = x^2 = 4x - 5
y = 2x - 2
A. (–3, –8) and (1, 0)
B. (–3, –8) and (–1, –4)
C. (–3, 0) and (1, –8)
D. no solution

y = -0.04x^2 + 8.3x
y = 1.12x + 1.6
-1/25*X^2+359/50*X-8/5
Standard form: a(X-h)²+k = ( -1/25X² +359/50X -128881/400) +128881/400 -8/5 = -1/25(X -359/4)² +128241/400
X = 359/4 ±√( 128241/16) = 8491/38056, or 6822561/38056
X=179.27688143792344 and 0.22311856207656433
