Help mee please. The time t in seconds or a car to skid 12 feet is given by 12 = -12t + 9t^2. Solve for t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 = -12t + 9t^2 => 0= 9t^2 -12t - 12. now use quadratic formula with a = 9, b=-12, c=-12

2 seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3t^2-4t-4=0 then roots are -2/3 and +2 since t cannot be negative it is 2 seconds
