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.

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y = 2x - 7

y = -x + 5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                                                                                                2x - 7 = -x + 5
  2. [Addition Property of Equality] Isolate <em>x</em> terms:                                            3x - 7 = 5
  3. [Addition Property of Equality] Isolate <em>x</em> term:                                              3x = 12
  4. [Division Property of Equality] Isolate <em>x</em>:                                                       x = 4

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define original equation:                                                                               y = -x + 5
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                                y = -4 + 5
  3. Add:                                                                                                                 y = 1
