AN Astronaut standing on the surface of the moon throws a rock into the air with and initial velocity of 27 feet per second.
\n" ); document.write( " the astronaut hand is 6 feet above the surface of the moon.
\n" ); document.write( " The height of the rock is given by h= -2.7f2+27t+6.
\n" ); document.write( "How many seconds was the rock in the air?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When the rock strikes the ground, h=0
\n" ); document.write( "-2.7t^2 + 27t + 6 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Use the quadratic formula to find t,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( " where a=-2.7, b=27, c=6
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"t+=+%28-27+%2B-+sqrt%2827%5E2-4%2A-2.7%2A6+%29%29%2F%282%2A-2.7%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "do the math, I got a positive solution of t=10.275 sec, see what you get. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
