3. A soccer player heads a ball from a height of 6 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 20 feet per second. The height h in feet of the ball is given by h = -167 + 20t +6,
where t is the time elapsed in seconds. How long will it take the ball to hit the
ground if no other players touch it? State the method you used to solve this
quadratic equation and why you chose that method.

1.5secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression that models  the height as;

h(t) = -16t²+20t +6

The ball will touch the ground at when h(t) = 0

0 =  -16t²+20t +6

Swap

-16t²+20t +6 = 0

Divide through by -2

8t²-10t-3 = 0

Expand using the general formula

t = -(-10)±√(-10)²-4(8)(-3)/2(8)

t = 10±√100+96/16

t = 10±√196/16

t = 10±14/16

t = 10+14/16

t = 24/16

t = 1.5

Hence it will take the ball 1.5secs to hit the ground

a, b, c, d are correct.

step-by-step explanation:

we have g(x) = 3 and are required to find which option is a translation of g(x).

now, 'translation' is a transformation which means to shift the function in any direction and the general form of translation is g(x) + k, where k is any real number.

so, according to the options we see that all are correct as they satisfy the general form of translation.

also, it can be seen from the graph below that the function g(x) = 3 is shifted from its position in all the four options.

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
