for the first question, you can plug in 168 for d
then solve for t (and use the positive answer, since you can't have negative time)
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
plug 168 for d?
d = 16t^2
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
yup :)
so
168 = 16t^2
solve for t

im not sure.
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
well you would divide both sides by 16 first
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
so... 168 / 16 & 16 / 16 ?
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
yes
so you get
168/16 = t^2
because 16/16 = 1
and 1*t^2 = t^2
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
168/16=10.5
16/16=1

that's right
so
t^2 = 10.5
then we need to squareroot both sides
OpenStudy (phi):
the other way round
t*t = 10.5
t^2 = 10.5
"take the square root" of both sides
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
so 10.5 is not my final answer?
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
I still need help with the other questions too
OpenStudy (phi):
10.5 is not the answer
t*t is 10.5
you want just t
you should do
\[ \sqrt{t^2} = \sqrt{10.5} \\ t= 3.24037\]
which you can round to about 3.2 seconds
