Write in standard form the eqation of a line that satisfies the given conditions. Perpendicular to 9x+3y=36, through (1,2)
-----------------
Find the slope of the line. Do that by putting the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. That means solve for y.
9x+3y = 36
3y= - 9x + 36
y = -3x + 13
The slope, m = -3
------------------
The slope of lines parallel have the same slope.
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, m = +1/3
----------------
Use y = mx + b and the point (1,2) to find b.
2 = (1/3)*1 + b
b = 5/3
The equation is y = (1/3)x + 5/3 (slope-intercept form)
x - 3y = -5 (standard form)

It appears to be geometric, but some of the terms don't fit.
If it's
1, 0.3, 0.09, 0.027, 0.0081 then it's multiplied by 0.3

If you recognize that it's a square, that's the easiest
If you see it's factorable, use that.
The quadratic equation always works.
Never waste time on completing the square, unless the problem asks for it.

cubic feet is volume, mm is length or distance. There's no conversion.

Volume is depth times area, if that's what you mean.

h+vt-9.8t^2
h(t) = h+vt-9.8t^2
h(2) = 190 + 40*2 - 9.8*4
h(2) = 309.2 meters

On Earth, the acceleration is 9.8 m/sec/sec
The equation should be
h(t) = h+vt - 4.9t^2

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case -4x%5E2%2B4x%2B3+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%284%29%5E2-4%2A-4%2A3=64.

Discriminant d=64 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28-4%2B-sqrt%28+64+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%284%29%2Bsqrt%28+64+%29%29%2F2%5C-4+=+-0.5
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%284%29-sqrt%28+64+%29%29%2F2%5C-4+=+1.5

Quadratic expression -4x%5E2%2B4x%2B3 can be factored:
-4x%5E2%2B4x%2B3+=+%28x--0.5%29%2A%28x-1.5%29
Again, the answer is: -0.5, 1.5. Here's your graph:
