By making use of properties of <em>quadratic</em> equations, we conclude that the <em>maximum</em> height of the rocket is 245 feet.

<h3>What is the maximum height of the rocket?</h3>

In this problem we must obtain the <em>maximum</em> height reached by the rocket and based on the <em>quadratic</em> equation described in the statement. There is an algebraic approach to get such information quickly. First, we modify the polynomial into an <em>implicit</em> form:

- 5 · t² + 70 · t - h = 0

Graphically speaking, <em>quadratic</em> equations are parabolae and, in particular, the <em>maximum</em> height of the rocket is part of the vertex of the parabola. Then, the discriminant of the quadratic equation is:

70² - 4 · (- 5) · (- h) = 0

4900 - 20 · h = 0

h = 245

By making use of properties of <em>quadratic</em> equations, we conclude that the <em>maximum</em> height of the rocket is 245 feet.

Determine if the triangles, ΔUVW and ΔBAC, are similar. If so, identify the similarity criterion.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

B). SAS similarity.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δ WVU & ΔCAB,

UV/CA = 17/34 = 1/2

&

VW/AB = 14/28 = 1/2

∵ UV/CA = VW/AB = 1/2

& ∠V = ∠A (Given)

∵ ΔWVU ≅  ΔCAB   (by SAS similarity)

My friend needs help explaining this and I don't know anything.
DIA [1.3K]

To solve this equation (correct me if i'm wrong), you could first multiply the bottom equation by 3, to get 15y. After that, we get -4x-15y=-17 and -3x + 15y=-39, and if we add the 2 equations up, on top of each other, we get -7x=-56, and we can conclude that x=8, and with substitution (-32 - 15y = -17), we know that y=(-1)


Here's what I mean by on-top


-4x-15y=-17

-3x + 15y=-39


-7x=-56

The quotient of a number and 14 is 8. Find the number.​
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The number is 112

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

\sf \dfrac{x}{14}=8\\\\\text{Multiply both sides by 14}\\\\ \dfrac{x}{14}*14=8*14\\\\

<h3>          x  = 112</h3>
