means to say that for any given , we can find
such that anytime
(i.e. the whenever
is "close enough" to 5), we can guarantee that
(i.e. the value of
is "close enough" to the limit value).
What we want to end up with is
Dividing both sides by 3 gives
which suggests is a sufficient threshold.
The proof itself is essentially the reverse of this analysis: Let be given. Then if
and so the limit is 7. QED
Somewhere you're given the equation for height as a function of time:
... h(t) = -16t² + v₀·t . . . . . . where v₀ is the initial vertical velocity in ft/s
For v₀ = 224, this becomes
... h(t) = -16t² + 224t
And this can be rewritten in vertex form as
... h(t) = -16(t² + 14t)
... h(t) = -16(t² + 14t +7²) +16·7² . . . . . complete the square (add the square of half the t coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite of that amount outside parentheses)
... h(t) = -16(t +7)² + 784
The vertex of this downward-opening parabola is (7, 784), so ...
The rocket reaches its maximum height at 7 seconds.
The maximum height of the rocket is 784 feet.
