Homework Help - April 2007

A rose thrown onto a platform has a height, h(t), given by the formula -16t^2 + 32t + 20. How long will it take before the rose hits the ground?

What I did with past problems on the worksheet was this:
h(t)=18x-6x^2
h(t)=-6x (-3 + x)
x=0, 3
3 seconds

But it doesn't seem to work with this problem, so I decided to ask here.

PLEASE, don't just post the answer, show the work, explaining a bit if needed. Or, you don't even have to post the answer, just tell me how you go about doing this problem.

Thanks ^_^

Does anyone understand case studies? I have no idea what I am doing. I have to use this case http://ethics.sandiego.edu/resources/cases/Detail.asp?ID=71

for my study. I have to create a categorical imperative for each person so i can evaluate each person's intent and actions. The second thing I have to do is evaluate all the CI's created as a whole to decide what would be the right action. If anyone can help me with anything I would totally appreciate it. I dont understand this at all!

Alright, I need some help with an essay I have to write for my Civics class..here is the prompt:

Recently Article 4 of the Constitution has received a great deal of attention because Hawaii and Vermont have considered making a marriage between partners of the same sex a legally recognized marriage. Because of Article 4, some legal experts say that all other states also must recognize same-sex couples, married in Hawaii or Vermont, as legally being married. Therefore, these couples would have the same rights and privileges as opposite-sex married couples. In response, many states have passed amendments to their state constitutions outlawing same-sex marriage.
Put yourself in the position of a person who must interpret the federal government's role in this conflict among the states. If the federal government rules Article 6 will override the state regulations. Remember that you must interpret the law, not your personal feelings about the outcome.

The poems have different topic, but have quite a few things that are similar. In Lee’s poem, the line “my father recited a story in a low voice” and in Roethke’s poem “My Papa’s Waltz”, “the whiskey on your breath” clearly points out that both poems feature a father. The line, “I watched his lovely face and not the blade” in Lee’s poem and the line, “The hand that held my wrist” in Roethke’s poem show that the poem’s perspective belongs to the sons.

Please help my revise this paragraph and help me think of a good conclusion sentence.
P.S : Also help me think of a better beginning sentence
