A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th

e given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that "ground" is at 0 ft height. which is in an actual scenario not airways the case.

y = -16x² + 64x + 89

shows us that the tower is 89 ft tall (the result for x = 0, at the start).

anyway, if the original assumption is correct, then we need to solve

0 = -16x² + 64x + 89

the general solution for such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/)2a)

in our case

a = -16

b = 64

c = 89

x = (-64 ± sqrt(64² - 4×-16×89))/(2×-16) =

= (-64 ± sqrt(4096 + 5696))/-32 =

= (-64 ± sqrt(9792))/-32

x1 = (-64 + 98.95453501...)/-32 = -1.092329219... s

x2 = (-64 - 98.95453501...)/-32 = 5.092329219... s

the negative solution for time is but useful here (it would be the time calculated back to ground at the start).

so, x2 is our solution.

the rocket hits the ground after about 5.09 seconds.

Mars2501 [29]

The number of ways to arrange the 5 writings in a row is 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 ways.

There is only 1 way to arrange the writings from oldest to newest.

Therefore, the probability is 1/120.

Sari sold 300 boxes of greeting cards in November. In december she sold 500. What was the percentage increase in her sales
grigory [225]
There was a 66 \frac{2}{3}% increase from Sari's sales from November to December. 

To find the percentage increase in her sales, we must first find the amount her sales increased. We can do that by subtracting the greeting cards sold in November from the number of greeting cards sold in December. Substituting values and simplifying, we get that she sold 200 more greeting cards in December.

To find what percent increase this is, we must find what percent 200 is of the number of greeting cards sold in November. We can do this by dividing 200 by the number of cards sold in November (300), and then multiplying by 100 (to make it a percent). Doing this, we get \frac{2}{3} * 100 which gives us our answer of 66 \frac{2}{3}%.
