Hi!

See my image for the answer.

I put each of the choices into the equation, then solved it.

The answer is B. (4,-12)

Hope this helps! :)

If both those equations are equal to y, then that means by the transitive property, they are equal to each other. We set them equal to each other and solve for x. 4x - 28 = 1.5x - 18. Subtract 1.5x from both sides to get 2.5x = 10 and x = 4. Now sub that value in for x into one of the original equations to find y: y=4(4)-28 and y = 16 - 28 so y = -12. Your solution to that system is (4, -12), B

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th

Answer:

17 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

The trajectory of a rocket launched is modeled by a parabolic path via a quadratic equation as follows:

$y = -16x^2 + 266x +102$

Where,

y: The height of the rocket from ground

x: The time taken since rocket launch

We are to determine the time ( x ) it takes for the rocket to hit the ground. This can be determined by setting the quantity ( y ) to zero as follows

$y = -16x^2 + 266x +102 = 0\\\\ -16x^2 + 266x +102 = 0$

solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula as follows:

$x = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\x = \frac{-266 +/- \sqrt{266^2 - 4*(-16)*(102)} }{2*(-16)} \\\\x = \frac{-266 +/- 278 }{-32} \\\\x = 8.3125 +/- 8.6875\\\\x = 17 , -0.375$
