Question

PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK

The function s(t) = t2+2t+5shows the height s(t), in feet, of a water balloon after t seconds. A second water balloon moves in the air along a path represented by p(t)=11+3t where p(t) is the height, in feet, of the balloon from the ground at time t seconds.
Part A: Create a table using integers 1 through 4 for the two functions. What is the solution for s(t) = p(t)? How do you know? Include the table in your answer.

Part B: Explain what the solution from Part A means in context of the problem.

Answer 1

t = 2,3

Explanation:

s (t) = t^2 + 2 t + 5

p (t) = 11 + 3 t

A:

s (1) = 8

s (2) = 13

s (3) = 20

s (4) = 29

Now

`t^2 + 2 t + 5 = 11 t + 3t \\\\t^2 - t - 6 = 0\\\\t^2 - 3 t - 2 t - 6 = 0 \\\\(t-2)(t-3)=0\\\\t = 2, 3`

(b) The values are same at t =2 an t =3.
