To determine if the values \( x = -1 \) and \( x = 73 \) are solutions to the quadratic equation \( 3x^2 - 4x - 4 = 3 \), we first rewrite the equation in standard form.
Starting with the original equation:
\[
3x^2 - 4x - 4 = 3
\]
Subtracting 3 from both sides gives:
\[
3x^2 - 4x - 7 = 0
\]
Now we will test each value:
### Testing \( x = -1 \):
Substituting \( -1 \) into the equation:
\[
3(-1)^2 - 4(-1) - 7 = 0
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
3(1) + 4 - 7 = 3 + 4 - 7 = 0
\]
So, \( x = -1 \) is indeed a solution.
### Testing \( x = 73 \):
Substituting \( 73 \) into the equation:
\[
3(73)^2 - 4(73) - 7 = 0
\]
Calculating \( 73^2 \):
\[
3(5329) - 292 - 7 = 0
\]
Calculating:
\[
15987 - 292 - 7 = 15987 - 299 = 15688 \neq 0
\]
So, \( x = 73 \) is not a solution.
### Conclusion
The only solution is \( x = -1 \).
Thus, the response is:
**Only \( x = -1 \) is a solution.**
Starting with the original equation:
\[
3x^2 - 4x - 4 = 3
\]
Subtracting 3 from both sides gives:
\[
3x^2 - 4x - 7 = 0

Now we will test each value:
### Testing \( x = -1 \):
Substituting \( -1 \) into the equation:
\[
3(-1)^2 - 4(-1) - 7 = 0
\]
Calculating each term:
\[

\]
So, \( x = -1 \) is indeed a solution.
### Testing \( x = 73 \):
Substituting \( 73 \) into the equation:
\[
3(73)^2 - 4(73) - 7 = 0
\]
Calculating \( 73^2 \):
\[
3(5329) - 292 - 7 = 0
\]
Calculating:
\[
15987 - 292 - 7 = 15987 - 299 = 15688 \neq 0
\]
So, \( x = 73 \) is not a solution.

The only solution is \( x = -1 \).

**Only \( x = -1 \) is a solution.**

To determine how far the firework will travel before reaching the ground, we need to find the value of \( x \) that makes the height \( h \) equal to zero in the quadratic equation:
\[
0 = -2536x^2 + 1623x
\]
This can be factored out as follows:
\[
0 = x(-2536x + 1623)
\]
Setting each factor to zero gives us two solutions:
1. \( x = 0 \)
2. \( -2536x + 1623 = 0 \)
Solving the second equation for \( x \):
\[
-2536x + 1623 = 0 \implies 2536x = 1623 \implies x = \frac{1623}{2536}
\]
Now we can calculate \( \frac{1623}{2536} \):
\[
x \approx 0.639
\]
Since this value of \( x \) is much smaller than the values given in the table, we need to evaluate the function \( -2536x^2 + 1623x \) at \( x = 12, 24, 36, \) and \( 48 \) to see when \( h = 0 \).
### Evaluating the Function at the Given Values:
1. **For \( x = 12 \)**:
\[
h = -2536(12^2) + 1623(12) = -2536(144) + 1623(12)
\]
\[
h = -364224 + 19476 = -344748 \text{ (not a solution)}
\]
2. **For \( x = 24 \)**:
\[
h = -2536(24^2) + 1623(24) = -2536(576) + 1623(24)
\]
\[
h = -1458304 + 38952 = -1419352 \text{ (not a solution)}
\]
3. **For \( x = 36 \)**:
\[
h = -2536(36^2) + 1623(36) = -2536(1296) + 1623(36)
\]
\[
h = -3282176 + 58428 = -3223748 \text{ (not a solution)}
\]
4. **For \( x = 48 \)**:
\[
h = -2536(48^2) + 1623(48) = -2536(2304) + 1623(48)
\]
\[
h = -5834496 + 77784 = -5756712 \text{ (not a solution)}
\]
None of the evaluated heights are equal to zero for the selected \( x \) values in the given table (12, 24, 36, or 48 feet). To precisely determine which \( x \) value is closest to the x-intercept, we would typically need to solve the quadratic equation using numerical methods or a calculator.
However, based on the problem's structure, it’s implied that one of the table values is meant to be a solution when closely evaluated. In this context, the horizontal distance at which the firework reaches the ground is often at the maximum height, which can occur at the vertex of the parabola, but requires additional calculation methods.
### Final Note:
If you are looking for a specific answer among the choices, please provide more context, or if I've made a computational error, clarify that with more detailed values. According to pure evaluation, no values from the table correspond to \( h = 0 \). Therefore, if I were to select an answer from the list without additional information, it could be misleading, as none equally present the height as zero. Would you like to calculate the vertex point \( x = -\frac{b}{2a} \) for a better estimate?
\[
0 = -2536x^2 + 1623x
\]
This can be factored out as follows:
\[
0 = x(-2536x + 1623)

1. \( x = 0 \)
2. \( -2536x + 1623 = 0 \)
Solving the second equation for \( x \):
\[
-2536x + 1623 = 0 \implies 2536x = 1623 \implies x = \frac{1623}{2536}

To determine whether \( x = -3 \) is a solution to the quadratic equation
\[
-3x^2 - 9x = 0,
\]
we need to substitute \( x = -3 \) into the equation and see if it results in a true statement (i.e., if both sides of the equation are equal).
### Step-by-step substitution:
1. Substitute \( x = -3 \) into the equation:
\[
-3(-3)^2 - 9(-3) = 0.
\]
2. Calculate \((-3)^2\):
\[
= -3(9) + 27.
\]
3. Simplify the expression:
\[
-27 + 27 = 0.
\]
\[
0 = 0.
\]
This confirms that substituting \( x = -3 \) into the equation yields a true statement.
### Conclusion:
Based on this evaluation, the correct explanation is:
**Yes, \( x = -3 \) is a solution because substituting it back into the equation results in the following:**
\[
\text{x Substituted Evaluate True Statement?} \\
-3 \\
-3(-3)^2 - 9(-3) = 0 \\
0 = 0 \quad \text{(True)}
\]
So the best response is the last one:
**Yes, \( x = -3 \) is a solution because substituting it back into the equation results in the following: \( x \) Substituted Evaluate True Statement? \( -3 \, -3(-3)^2 - 9(-3) = 0 \, 0 = 0 \, \text{True}**
\[
-3x^2 - 9x = 0,
\]
we need to substitute \( x = -3 \) into the equation and see if it results in a true statement (i.e., if both sides of the equation are equal).
### Step-by-step substitution:
1. Substitute \( x = -3 \) into the equation:

To determine how many solutions are in the solution set for the equation
\[
2(x - 5)^2 + 2 = 20,
\]
we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Simplify the equation
First, we will subtract 2 from both sides:
\[
2(x - 5)^2 = 20 - 2
\]
\[
2(x - 5)^2 = 18.
\]
### Step 2: Divide both sides by 2
Now, we will divide both sides by 2:
\[
(x - 5)^2 = \frac{18}{2}
\]
\[
(x - 5)^2 = 9.
\]
### Step 3: Take the square root of both sides
Next, we take the square root of both sides:
\[
x - 5 = \pm 3.
\]
### Step 4: Solve for \( x \)
Now we can solve for \( x \):
1. For the positive case:
\[
x - 5 = 3 \implies x = 3 + 5 \implies x = 8.
\]
2. For the negative case:
\[
x - 5 = -3 \implies x = -3 + 5 \implies x = 2.
\]
### Conclusion
We have found two solutions: \( x = 8 \) and \( x = 2 \).
Thus, the number of solutions in the solution set for the equation \( 2(x - 5)^2 + 2 = 20 \) is:
**Two**.
\[
2(x - 5)^2 + 2 = 20,
\]
we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Simplify the equation
First, we will subtract 2 from both sides:
\[
2(x - 5)^2 = 20 - 2
\]
\[
2(x - 5)^2 = 18.
\]
### Step 2: Divide both sides by 2
Now, we will divide both sides by 2:
\[
(x - 5)^2 = \frac{18}{2}
\]
\[
(x - 5)^2 = 9.
\]
### Step 3: Take the square root of both sides
Next, we take the square root of both sides:
\[
x - 5 = \pm 3.
\]
### Step 4: Solve for \( x \)
Now we can solve for \( x \):
1. For the positive case:
\[
x - 5 = 3 \implies x = 3 + 5 \implies x = 8.
\]
2. For the negative case:
\[
x - 5 = -3 \implies x = -3 + 5 \implies x = 2.
\]
### Conclusion
We have found two solutions: \( x = 8 \) and \( x = 2 \).
Thus, the number of solutions in the solution set for the equation \( 2(x - 5)^2 + 2 = 20 \) is:
**Two**.
