Using the vertex of the quadratic equation, it is found that:

The rocket will reach its peak height of 345 meters above sea level at 6.53 seconds.

<h3>What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

The vertex is given by:

(x_v, y_v)

In which:

x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}

y_v = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}

Considering the coefficient a, we have that:

  • If a < 0, the vertex is a maximum point.
  • If a > 0, the vertex is a minimum point.

In this problem, the equation is given by:

h(t) = -4.9t² + 64t + 136.

The coefficients are a = -4.9 < 0, b = 64, c = 136, hence the instant of the maximum height is given by, in seconds:

t_v = -\frac{64}{2(-4.9)} = 6.53

A sound wave travels through iron at a rate of 5120\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}5120 s m ​ 5120, start fraction, start text, m, e
klio [65]

Answer:

18432 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a sound wave travels through iron at a rate of 5120 m/s.

We know that

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minutes = 60 second

Using these conversions we get

1 m = 0.001 km

1 hour  = 3600 second

5120\text{ m/s }=5120\times 0.001\times 3600\text{ km/h}

5120\text{ m/s }=18432\text{ km/h}

Therefore, the sound wave travels through iron at a rate of 18432 km/h.

the arithmetic sequence ai is defined by the formula: a1 = -53 ai = ai-1 + 6 find the sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence is 2,273,920.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

The difference between consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference, and the nth term is given by:

a_{n} = a_0 + (n-1)d

In which d is the common difference.

Sum of the first n terms:

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

S_{n} = \frac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}

ai = ai-1 + 6

This means that d = 6

In this question:

Sum of the first 800 terms, so n = 800

First term is -53, so a_1 = -53

The 880th term is:

a_{880} = -53 + (880-1)*6 = 5221

Sum

S_{n} = \frac{880(-53+5221)}{2} = 440(-53+5221) = 2273920

The sum of the first 880 terms in the sequence is 2,273,920.
