The height h in feet of an object shot straight up with initial velocity v in feet per second is given by h = −16t^2 + vt + c, where c is the initial height of the object above the ground. A model rocket is shot vertically up from a height of 6 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 22 feet per second. Will it reach a height of 10 feet? Identify the correct explanation for your answer.

answer:

a=9

step-by-step explanation: lmk if you need a explanation

the answer is b

step-by-step explanation:

im not sure what the answer is

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
