A falling object travels a distance given by the formula d=3t+5t2, where d is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds. How many seconds will it take for the object to travel 84 feet?

I’m pretty sure the slope would be 1 since the x and y values increase by 1

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
