just replace h by 11
and solve the quadratic equation
OpenStudy (maddielb):
@xapproachesinfinity I tried that, and obviously did it wrong, I got 2.06
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so you did 1+25t-t^2=11
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Well for me the 11 was on the other side and then I put everything onto the side with the 11.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
yeah it is the same
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so you got -10+25t-t^2=0
OpenStudy (maddielb):
No, I moved everything to the side with the 11, so I got 10-25t+5t^2
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
yeah the same thing don't worry
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so that is good what did you do after that

I put it into the t=-bsqrtb^2-4ac/2a formula
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
Ok quadratic formula
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so what is the problem
OpenStudy (maddielb):
I got the wrong answer lol
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
well you probably doing the numbers incorrectly

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
but the method is good
OpenStudy (maddielb):
When I put the numbers in I did
t=25+sqrt(-25)^2-4(5)(10)/2(5)
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
should be good
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
are you including plus or minus
OpenStudy (maddielb):
What do you mean?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
the quadratic formula always has Plus or minus in middle
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so there are two answers no just one
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Oh -b+-sqrt
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
yeah
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Give me a second

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
ok
OpenStudy (maddielb):
So would it be 2.06 or -2.06
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
it gotta be the positive answer
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
you said your answer was wrong?
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
are you rounding correctly

OpenStudy (maddielb):
2.06 is to the hundredth right?
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
seems so
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
what is the actual number you get
OpenStudy (maddielb):
2.0615528128
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
hmm ok

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
let me see what you are doing wrong
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Well it says "If there is more than one answer, use the "or" button."
OpenStudy (maddielb):
But Im afraid to submit another answer until we know for sure because if I get it wrong one more time it moves me onto the next one
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
ok
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
seems there are two but you are getting a negative

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
hold on
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
I got 4.56 and 0.44
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
i don't know how you getting 2.06
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Me neither, Im super tired, but this has to be done, I just finished a 1000 word essay for English. Ill try your answer and see if it works I guess
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
You are probably using the formula in wrong way

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
\[x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
is that what you are using?
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Yes
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
well I got those answers
\[x=\frac{25\pm\sqrt{(-25)^2-4(5)(10) }}{2(5) }\]
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Did you multiply 5 and 10 first
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Well, before multiplying by -4 I mean, not as in the very first thing
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
it does not really matter
you get for that -200 anyway
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so under radical you have 625-200=425
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Yeah I got that
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
you square root that you get
20.61552812...

OpenStudy (maddielb):
Mhmm
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Ohhhhh, yep I did it wrong
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Oops :P
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so what were you doing?
OpenStudy (maddielb):
I wasnt adding 25, I was just dividing the square root of that number by 10
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!
Sign Up
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
yeah you should add 25 first
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Whoops :3
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
you got carried away
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
well the answers are two not just one
OpenStudy (maddielb):
True, how'd you get .44

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
because the ball will go upward and come down
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so it two different timings it will be at 11 meters
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
you got use comma as they suggested
OpenStudy (maddielb):
I'm still confused on how you got .44
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
oh how did i get 044
because 25-20,61 and then divide by 10

OpenStudy (maddielb):
Ohhhh, alright, that makes sense
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
remember it plus or minus
one is to add and one is to subtract
OpenStudy (maddielb):
Well I will probably have about 3 problems after this one, if I have troubles can I tag you in another question?
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Try sketching this function. |dw:1479353200367:dw|
