    can someone check my transpositions
    (R+ωL)(R-ωL)
    = R^2-ωL

    Z^2-R^2
    = (Z+R)(Z-R)


    h= -4.9t^2+55t+12
    make ‘t’ subject

    h= -4.9t^2+55t+12
    h-12=-4.9t^2+55t+12
    -12h=50.1t

    -12h/50.1=t


    Thank you

    For the last one, you can't subtract a t term from a t^2 term:confused: .

    You just broke the laws of algebra. :) :rolleyes: :p

    You can easily check your answer by subbing it back in to the equation. If it works, you should get h. But you won't.:eek:



    Try completing the square. Can you do that?

    Upon doing that you get

    Multiply the right side by 5 to get the denominators the same, then we get:











    There, see what happened?
