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.

You bought a video game for
Temka [501]

Answer: $0

Step-by-step explanation:

every six months means the game loses 25%*2 per year = 50%

2 years would be 50%*2 = 100%

Therefore, if the game loses 100% of its value in 2 years, it will be free.
