Answer:

18) a. h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

b. The maximum height = 400 feet

c. Attached graph

19) The rocket will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds

20) The rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the rule of motion for an object with constant acceleration

# The distance S = ut ± 1/2 at², where u is the initial velocity, t is the time

  and a is the acceleration of gravity

# The vertical distances h in x second is h(x) - h(0), where h(0)

   is the initial height of the object above the ground

∵ h(x) = vx + 1/2 ax², where h is the vrtical distance, v is the initial

  velocity, a is the acceleration of gravity (32 feet/second²) and x

  is the time

18)a.

∵ The value of a = -32 ft/sec² ⇒ negative because the direction

   of the motion

  is upward

∴ h(x) - h(0) = vx - (1/2)(32)(x²) ⇒ (1/2)(32) = 16

∴ h(x) = vx - 16x² + h(0)

∴ h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ proved

* Find the height of the object after x seconds from the ground

∵ h(0) = 144 and v = 128 ft/sec

∴ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

b.

* At the maximum height h'(x) = 0

∵ h'(x) = -32x + 128

∴ -32x + 128 = 0 ⇒ subtract 128 from both sides

∴ -32x = -128 ⇒ ÷ -32

∴ x = 4 seconds

- The time for the maximum height = 4 seconds

- Substitute this value of x in the equation of h(x)

∴ The maximum height = -16(4)² + 128(4) + 144 = 400 feet

c. Attached graph

19)

- The object will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds

20)

- When the rocket hits the ground h(x) = 0

∵ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

∴ 0 = -16x² + 128x + 144 ⇒ divide the two sides by -16

∴ x² - 8x - 9 = 0 ⇒ use the factorization to find the value of x

∵ x² - 8x - 9 = 0

∴ (x - 9)( x + 1) = 0

∴ x - 9 = 0 OR x + 1 = 0

∴ x = 9 OR x = -1

- We will rejected -1 because there is no -ve value for the time

* The time for the object to hit the ground is 9 seconds

topjm [15]
Pretty simple equation, where we need to find the number of books. If it is 2$ each day per book
72/9 = 8$ per day is the late fee paid
So if each book is 2$, then we can assume
8/2 = 4 books

So equation is
“# books = (amount paid)/(days * per day payment)”

sashaice [31]

Answer:

x = 8 and y=9 or y = 8 and x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

8 x 9 = 72

8+9 = 17

9 x 8 = 72

9+8 = 17
