Afirecracker shoots up from a hill 160 feet high, with an initial speed of 90 feet per second. using the formula h(t) = −16t2 + vt + s, approximately how long will it take the firecracker to hit the ground?
a five seconds
b six seconds
c seven seconds
d eight seconds

When the firecracker hits the ground, H(t) = 0.0 = -16t^2 + 90t + 160 Using the quadratic formula,t = (-90 +- sqrt(90^2 - 4(-16)(160))) / 2(-16)t = -1.42 ort = 7.04

The negative time is extraneous. Therefore,t = 7.04 s.

Seven Seconds is your answer!

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7
