50PTS?!? Help .

The height of a flare fired from the deck of a ship in distress can be modeled by h(t)= -2(8t^2-52t-28), where h is the height of the flare above water and t is the time in seconds. a. find the time it takes the flare to hit the water.

What is the expression in factored form? 3x^2 + 18x + 24 a. 3(x+2)(x+4) b. 3(x-2)(x+4) c. 3(x-2)(x-4) d. 3(x+2)(x-4)

Combine like terms to make a simpler expression 3z+z
