It is not a circle but you can find the equation of the ellipse.
To do this we need to work out the major and minor radii and the centre
The centre is at (9, 7)
The major (y) radius is 1 and the minor (x) radius is 5
Therefore the equation is (x-9)/5 + (y-7)/1 = 1
Answer: The rocket will reach its max after 4 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to find the maximum height, we have to set the first derivative of the equation equal to zero.
y=-16x^2+128x+136
0 = (2)-16x +128
0= -32x+128
Solving for x:
32x = 128
x = 128/32
x = 4 seconds
The rocket will reach its max after 4 seconds
