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.
y=-16x^2+64x+89

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.

Please help me!! How do you solve 4x+8=2x+7+2x-20. Thank you
leonid [27]
4x + 8 = 2x + 7 + 2x - 20

4x + 8 = 4x - 13

8 = -13

no solution. 

hope that helps, God bless!

What are the number of integral solutions of the equation 2x+2y+z=20 such that x&gt;=0 , y&gt;=0 , z&gt;=0?
zaharov [31]
2x+2y+z=20\\&#10;z=\dfrac{20}{2x+2y}\\&#10;z=\dfrac{10}{x+y}

Now, for z to be an integer, the sum x+y must be a divisor of 10. 
It has to be a positive divisor since z≥0. Also x≠y.

x+y=1 \\&#10;x=1-y\\&#10;
x≥0 and y≥0 so y can be equal to either 0 or 1. There are 2 solution in this case.

x+y=2\\&#10;x=2-y\\
In this case, y can be equal to 0,1, or 2, but for y=1 ⇒ x=1, so there are two solutions.

x+y=5\\&#10;x=5-y
y can be 0,1,2,3,4 or 5 - 6 solutions

x+y=10\\&#10;x=10-y
y can be 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, but for y=5 ⇒ x=5, so 10 solutions.

2+2+6+10=20 solutions in total.
