The eqution of height y in terms of the time x is

y=-16x^2+116x+7.

We are asked when the rocket will strike the ground, so that is the same that sayin when will the rocket's height will be zero again, that is, y=0. so we have to solve

-16x^2+116x+7=0.

the solutions of this equations are

x=\frac{-116\pm\sqrt[]{116^2-4(-16)(7)}}{2(-16)}=\mleft\{\begin{aligned}-0.05 \\ 7.3\end{aligned}\mright.

So, the rocket will strike the ground after 7.3 seconds

Answer:

y = -1/4x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the perpendicular slope would be -1/4

2 = -1/4 (-16) + b

b = -2

the equation should be y = -1/4x -2

Answer:

11). x = 25.8°

12). x = 67.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

11). By using sine rule in the given triangle,

   cos(x) = \frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

   cos(x) = \frac{27}{30}

   x = \text{cos}^{-1}(\frac{9}{10} )

   x = 25.84

   x ≈ 25.8°

12). By applying tangent rule in the given triangle,

    tan(x) = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

    tan(x) = \frac{43}{18}

    x = \text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{43}{18} )

    x = 67.29°

    x ≈ 67.3°
