Question 89375: solve the quadratic equation by completing the square:
3x^2 - 6x + 2 = 0
3x^2-6x = -2
x^2-2x = -2/3
(1/2 of -2 (the x coefficent) squared is 1; add it to both sides)
x^2-2x + 1 = -2/3 + 1
(x-1)^2 = -5/3
x-1 = +/- radical 5/3
(radical 5/3 = radical 5 over radical 3 multiplied by radical 3 over radical 3)
x-1 = +/- radical 15 over 3
x = 1 +/- radical 15 over 3
but according to the book the answer is 3 +/- radical 3 over 3 - what did i do wrong?

Question 89408: /Word problem to solve - very confused
Okay here goes!!!
It is a launch of a cannon ball
Cannon ball should have initial vertical velocity of 15 feet per second. the cannon is on a hill that is 10 ft high. Keep in mind that the barrel of teh cannon is 4 ft. off the ground (on the hill) and the cannon ball is launched from the top of the cannon.
Okay - I need to use the following model:
h=-16t^+vt + h
h=height
v=initial vertical velocity (ft per second)
h=inital height (ft)
t-time in motion - (seconds)
I have to find a function that models the path of the cannon ball
Graph of the path
Maximum height of the cannon ball above level ground and
how long after the cannon ball is launched does it reach its max height
i can't believe this - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
