A model rocket is launched from a roof into a large field. the path of the rocket can be modeled by the equation y = -8.0x^2 + 12X +25.8, Where x is the horizontal distance, in meters from the starting point on the roof and y is the height, in meters of the rocket above ground. how far horizontally from the starting point will the rocket land. round your answer to the nearest hundred.

yea oobleck is a dweeb, answers are literally what this website is for. all we do is hand out free answers

oobleck · Answer

the rocket will land where the height is zero, right? So just solve -8.0x^2 + 12X +25.8 in the usual ways, such as the quadratic formula.

sorry... -8.0x^2 + 12X +25.8 = 0

Looks like you better start studying. We generally don't just hand out answers to cheaters here.
And besides, we do not have access to all curricula, so we have no idea what it is you need to know.
So, post a few questions that bother you, and we will try to help you learn to solve them.
