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:

t =2 , 3

Step-by-step 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

p (1) = 14

p (2) = 17

p (3) = 20

p (4) = 23

Now equate both of them

[tex]t^2 + 2t + 5 = 11 + 3 t \\\\t^2 - t - 6 =0 \\\\t^2 - 3 t + 2t - 6 =0\\\\t(t - 3) + 2 (t - 3) = 0\\\\(t -3)(t-2)=0\\\\t =3, 2[/tex]

(b) It shows that the values are same at = 2 and t = 3.
