can anyone do these so i can check my answers??

Determine the solutions for the following polynomial equation. Use decimal approximations accurate to two decimal places if necessary.

3x^2 – 16x – 7 = 0

Determine the solutions for the following polynomial equation.

(4x + 4)^2 = 49

x = (larger value)

x = (smaller value

An archery enthusiast was testing his new bow. He shot an arrow straight up from the top of a building 128 feet high with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. The height of the arrow (h measured in feet) after t seconds in flight is described by the equation

.

Determine the number of seconds after the arrow is shot that it will strike the ground.

t = seconds

1) Using the quadratic formula

x = -(-16) +/- sqrt[(-16)^2 – 4(3)(-7)] / 2(3)

x = (16 +/- sqrt[340])/6

x = 5.74

x = -0.41

2) square root both sides

4x + 4 = sqrt[49]

4x + 4 = 7 and 4x + 4 = -7

x = 3/4

x = -11/4

3) it seems like you’re missing the equation given here, but…

UP

vf = vi + at

0 = 32 + (-32.2)t

t = 0.99s

find max height

d = di +vit + (1/2)at^2

d = 128 +(32)(.99) + (1/2)(-32.2)(.99)^2 = 143.90ft

time down

d = di +vit +(1/2)at^2

0 = 143.90 + 0 + (1/2)(-32.2)t^2

t = 2.99s

total time = 0.99s + 2.99s = 3.98s
