Algebra.Com's Answer #90173 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The position of an object moving in a straight line is given by s=2tsquared - 3t, where s is in meters and t is the time in secoonds the object has been in motion. How long (to the nearest tenth) will it take the object to move 19 meters? \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "s(t) = 2t^2-3t \n" ); document.write( "19 = 2t^2-3t \n" ); document.write( "2t^2-3t-19=0 \n" ); document.write( "t = [3 +- sqrt(9-4*2*-19)]/4 \n" ); document.write( "t = [3 +- sqrt(161)]/4 \n" ); document.write( "t = [3 +- 12.6886]/4 \n" ); document.write( "Positive answer: \n" ); document.write( "t = [3+12.6886]/4 \n" ); document.write( "t = 3.9221 seconds \n" ); document.write( "============== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
