Solve for x. -16x^2+64x+363=0

OpenStudy (precal):

use the quadratic formula a is -16 b is 64 and c is 363

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I DID. UGh

OpenStudy (precal):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like a big number that wouldnt be right because i cant use decimas and it would have been

OpenStudy (precal):

\[x=(-64\pm \sqrt{27328})/-32\]

OpenStudy (precal):

You will get a decimal solution and you can verify it using a graphing calculator

OpenStudy (turingtest):

make sure you wrote the problem correctly. If you did you have the formula set up right, so who care if the number is big, it's the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GAH i have been working on this for four hours or more

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Do you know what the answer is supposed to be?

OpenStudy (precal):

Yes, calculus is a pain. Looks like you are were on a particle motion problem. Hang in there. We are here to help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i posted two recent questions. they are my last ones lol and its driving me crazy.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

If it is a partical motion problem then this is not the original you were given, right? maybe you made a mistake earlier in the derivation of your quadratic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bleh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 6.019 & -3.769 from the quadratic equation. What

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you supposed to get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How many seconds does it take until the ball finally hits the ground? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well since seconds can not be negative I would think 6.0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for f(x)=-16t^2+64t+363

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 seconds is your answer rounded up to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The quadratic formula shows that the two answers are 6.019 and 3.769 by the equation you wrote down. Now if there is a mistake anywhere else I couldn't help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My gosh, I can't divided, it's 7.17 or -3.17, so nearest tenth would be 7.2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I actually got 7 I was about to post

OpenStudy (turingtest):

so try 7 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either way i dont know. its a chain question and like i dont know which one is wrong until all are right

OpenStudy (turingtest):

7.2 I mean

OpenStudy (turingtest):

well the answer to the question you posted is 7.2 sec what more can we do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

;) I just wish I could divide correctly. haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is one of my questions. could one of u be so kind to just answer every one. I cant tell til im done which is right and i have been doing this for HOURS

OpenStudy (turingtest):

All are correct except for the last s(0) represents the initial height of the ball

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^Agreed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow im an idiot. lol i love u guys thanks so much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have one more :( wanna help ? lol u dont have to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ima post it on the question feed so u can get medals

OpenStudy (turingtest):

post it separately and we'll see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay
