An egg is dropped from the window of a building. the height, in feet, of the egg t seconds after it is thrown is represented by d=-16t^2-7t+61. how many seconds after the egg is thrown will it be 10 feet from the ground?

1.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay. We're solving for t because we need to know how many seconds. From the problem, we know the height (10), but we don't know when that height happens.

We can factor by multiplying -16 by 61 first to get -976 and see what multiplies to get -976 AND adds to get -7 at the same time. But we can also use the quadratic formula because, let's be honest, factoring can be a lot of extra work.

Plug both the plus and the minus versions into your calculator and...

There's no such thing as negative time, so -2.02 is automatically disqualified, leaving 1.58 as the answer.

Hope this helps, let me know if I missed anything!

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
