I really need help with these I have tried them and they are always wrong?

1. Finf the y intercepts. y=x^2+2x-15

2. Solve by usuing the quadric formula. x^2=-5+11

3. The height h in feet of an object after t seconds is given by the function h = –16t2 + 70t + 4. How long will it take the object to hit the ground? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

4. Graph the quadratic equation after completing the given table of values. y = –x2 + 1

Please ahow me how to work these out.. Thanks

1. y-intercepts, where x = 0

y=x^2+2x-15

y = (x +5)(x – 3)

0 = (x +5)(x – 3)

0 = (x +5), 0 = (x – 3)

x = -5, x = 3

Write them: y-intercepts: (0,-5) & (0, 3)

1. y=x²+2x-15

y=0²+2(0)-15 <--plugged in 0 for x's y= -15 <--simplified 2. x²=-5+11 x²= 6 <--added like terms x²-6=0 <--moved 6 over by sub. 6 from both sides x= (-b +- sqrt(b²-4ac))/(2a) <--quadratic formula [+- = + or -] a(coefficient of x²)=1 b(coefficient of x)= 0 c(constant)= -6 x= (-0 +- sqrt(0²-4(1)(-6)))/(2*1) <--plugged in numbers x= (+- sqrt(24))/(2) <--simplified x= (+- 2sqrt(6))/(2) <--simplifed sqrt(24) x= (+- sqrt(6)) <--canceled out the 2's 3. h= -16t²+70t+4 h= -2(8t²-35t-2) <--factored out -2 t= (-35+- sqrt((-35)²-4(8)(-2)))/(2*-8) <--quadratic formula t= (-35+- sqrt(1225+64))/(-16) <--simplified t= (-35+- sqrt(1289))/(-16) <--simplified t= -0.06 or 4.43 seconds <--put into calculator t= 4.43 sec <--eliminated answer (can't have - seconds) 4. I can't actually graph this, but I'll show you how to do the table of values. x | y <--put 5 numbers on the x side of the table, preferably -2| -3 negative and positive numbers and zero. Plug in -1| 0 the numbers into the original equation to get the 0 | 1 y-column 1 | 0 2 | -3 Now just draw a graph and graph it. You might wanna check these over in case I made a mistake. Hope I helped!

Reese is incorrect. A quadratic function will only have ONE y-intercept.

1) Y intercept occurs when x=0. Plug in x=0

y intercept is -15

2) I think you have a typo, othersise you answer is +/- sqrt(6)

3) h=16t^2+70t +4 set h to zero, solve for t

h=(-70 +/- sqrt(70^2 + 4*16*4)) / 32.

4) Not enough information to complete this problem.

I was born and raised in asia and moved to the usa when I became an adult. I have never had any feelings that I am more inferior to whites or anyone. Never ever……… Being an immigrant, I am very proud of myself for having the courages and talents of knowing how to make use of all the opportunities available to me on this land. It is your personal mentality that makes you feel inferior and that has nothing to do with if your are a full white, mixed or full asian. Oh wait ! I still speak with an accent ! Feeling inferior, no way……..
