Modeling with Quadratic Equations Answers

The projectile motion of an object can be modeled usings(t) = gt2 + v0t + s0, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is the time in seconds since launch, s(t) is the height after t seconds, v0 is the initial velocity, and s0 is the initial height. The acceleration due to gravity is –4.9 m/s2.

The product of two positive numbers is 750. The first number is 5 less than the second number. The equationx(x – 5) = 750 can be used to find x, the value of the greater number.

A computer company makes a rectangular screen with a diagonal of 20 inches. The width of the screen is 4 inches less than its length.
