Manny observed a Northern Gannet, a deep diving seabird, hovering at a height of 10 meters above the ocean surface. The bird then dove into the water, diving to a depth of 16 meters before coming to the surface. The dive can be modeled by a quadratic function, y = x2 – 10.3x + 10, where x represents the time the dive lasted in seconds and y represents the height of the bird in meters. Use the graphing calculator to graph the equation. After how many seconds did the bird surface? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (the correct answer for this is 9.2 seconds) but I need to know how this was solved step by step

step-by-step explanation:

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
