2(x - 16) + 12 = 30
2x - 32 + 12 = 30
2x - 20 = 30
2x = 30 + 20
2x = 50
x = 50/2
x = 25 <=== the temp was 25 at midnight

Since you didn’t put the numbers to find the amount, I’ll teach you how to.. Once you have the decimal figure, multiply it by the number for which you seek to calculate the percentage

The height of a toy rocket that is shot in the air with an upward velocity of 48 feet per second can be modeled by the function

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

B) 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The height as a function of time is given as:

$f(t)=-16t^2+48t$

At maximum height, the instantaneous velocity becomes 0. The instantaneous velocity is the first derivative of the height function.

So, the derivative of the the given function is 0 at the maximum height.

Differentiating the above function with time, we get

$f'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(-16t^2)+\frac{d}{dt}(48t)\\f'(t)=-32t+48$

Now, equating the derivative to 0 and finding time.

$f'(t)=0\\-32t+48=0\\32t=48\\t=\frac{48}{32}=1.5\ s$

Therefore, time taken to reach maximum height is 1.5 s.

Now, maximum height is obtained by plugging in $t=1.5$ in the height equation.

Maximum height is given as:

$h_{max}=-16(1.5)^2+48(1.5)\\h_{max}=-16\times 2.25+72\\h_{max}=-36+72\\h_{max}=36\ ft$
