i think your question doesnt make much sense
1/2 because 5/9 is equivalent to 10/18. Half of 18 is 9 and 10 is close to 9 so the nearest benchmark fraction you should round to is 1/2. Hope this helps you!
Since x is the number of seconds it took the rock to hit the water, x is the value that we are looking for. When the rock hits the water, it's height is 0, therefore, f(x) = 0. So, we can set the expression on the right equal to 0, and solve for 0. Let's do just that:

We can divide by -16, nothing will happen because 0 divided by anything is 0:

To factor any trinomial in standard form (given below), we must find two numbers that add to "b" and multiply to "c":

So, for this specific question, let's find two numbers that add to -8 and multiply to 9. These are clearly 9 and -1. We can write it in this way now:

Both answers would be valid, but there can't be negative time, so your answer is
"It takes 9 seconds for the rock to reach the water."
Answer:
The correct answer is 1.5 to 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
| x - 8| = 3
x - 8 = 3 - (x - 8) = 3
x = 3 + 8 -x + 8 = 3
x = 11 -x = 3 - 8
-x = - 5
x = 5
Minimum : 5% Maximum : 11% if u need them added it is 16%
