–270 = –16x2Isolate x2. 16.875 = x2 ±4.1 xTake the square root of each side. Quadratic Equations ALGEBRA 2 LESSON 5-5 The function y = –16x2 + 270 models the height y in feet of a heavy object x seconds after it is dropped from the top of a building that is 270 feet tall. How long does it take the object to hit the ground? y = –16x2 + 270 0 = –16x2 + 270 Substitute 0 for y. The object takes about 4.1 seconds to hit the ground. Check: Is the answer reasonable? The negative number –4.1 is also a solution to the equation. However, since a negative value for time has no meaning in this case, only the positive solution is reasonable. Quick Check 5-5
Define: Let x = the shorter leg. Then x + 1 = the longer leg. Write: 62 = x2 + ( x + 1 )2 36 = x2 + x2 + 2x + 1 Multiply. 0 = 2x2 + 2x – 35 Write in standard form. Quadratic Equations ALGEBRA 2 LESSON 5-5 A carpenter wants to cut a piece of plywood in the shape of a right triangle. He wants the hypotenuse of the triangle to be 6 feet long, as shown in the diagram. About how long should the perpendicular sides be? Relate: From the Pythagorean Theorem we know for a right triangle that the hypotenuse squared equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. 5-5
