Afootball is passed through the air and caught at ground level for a touchdown. the height of the ball (h) is given by h= -d² + 12d + 6, where d is the distance in feet the ball travels horizontally. how far from the player passing the ball will the ball be caught? 40 points! will mark brainliest!

d = 6+sqrt(42)=12.4807407

Step-by-step explanation:

h= -d² + 12d + 6

The ball is caught at ground level  which means h=0

0 =  -d² + 12d + 6

Subtract 6 from each side

-6 = -d^2 +12d

Factor out a - sign

-6 =-(d^2-12d)

Divide by -1

6 = d^2 -12 d

Complete the square

-12/2 = -6  then square it = 36

Add 36 to each side

6+36 = d^2 -12d +36

42 = (d-6)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(42) = sqrt( (d-6)^2)

±sqrt(42) =  (d-6)

Add 6 to each side

6±sqrt(42) =  (d-6)+6

6±sqrt(42) =  d

d = 6+sqrt(42)=12.4807407

d =6- sqrt(42)=-.480740698

Since the distance cannot be negative

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.

h= 12 inches
