Help? I'm stuck. Applications of Quadratic Applications.

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

\[S=-16t^2+11t\] \[(-1)0= (-1)(-16t^2+112 t)\] \[0=16t^2-112t\] That is what I got. I've tried solving further but I'm confused...

OpenStudy (hihi67):

what r u tryin to figure out

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Well, now I'm supposed to be factoring the last equation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try completing the square

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You could use the quadratic equation if you like, c = 0, or complete the square.

OpenStudy (hihi67):

itll be in the form (a-b)(a+b)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Yes, I do know that I just do not know how to go from what I've put up last.

OpenStudy (hihi67):

just take any random number, plug it in and see what happens i guess lol

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You could just do (11-16t)t=0 that gives your factors

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

factoring out a t

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Nevermind I got it haha. Thanks guys!

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[16t^2-112t+(\frac{ 112 }{ 2 })^2= (\frac{ 112 }{ 2 })^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ok

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

S = -16t^2+11t is different from 16t^2-112t, I'm assuming there was just a mistake there, but you can do the same as above for it in any case, I guess you realized that :P
