SOLUTION: I have two problems. I worked part of one but cannot get it finished and don't know why. It is -16t^2 + 112t = 120 -16t^2 + 112t - 120 = 0 t=(-112±√(〖112〗^2-

Question 103300: I have two problems. I worked part of one but cannot get it finished and don't know why. It is
-16t^2 + 112t = 120
-16t^2 + 112t - 120 = 0
t=(-112±√(〖112〗^2-4∙(-16)∙(-120) ))/(2∙(-16) )
t=(-112±√(12544-7680))/(-32)
t= (-112±√4864)/(-32)

And the other is Find the distance between (–4, 0) and (–5, –3)I put...
-5+(-4)=-9
-3+0=-3
-9^2+-3^2=h^2
81+9=h^2
h=sqrt90
h=sqrt9*10
h=3sqrt10
Where did I go wrong????

Find the distance between (–4, 0) and (–5, –3)
----------------
Formula:
distance = sqrt[(change in y)^2 + (change in x)^2]
distance = sqrt[(-3-0)^2 + (-5--4)^2]
distance = sqrt[9 + 1]
distance = sqrt(10)
