Note that height is equal to 0 when time equals 0 and when time equals 4, but we are only concerned with time equal to 4

Answer:

4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rocket is launched into the air and follows the path,\text{h}(\text{t})=-3\text{t}^2+12\text{t}, where t is time measured in seconds

To Find: how long it takes the rocket to hit the ground

Solution:

Path followed by rocket

\text{h}(\text{t})=-3\text{t}^2+12\text{t}

here, t is time in seconds and h is height

height of rocket  when it hit ground,

\text{h}=0\text{m}

putting value of h in equation

0=-3\text{t}^2+12\text{t}

3\text{t}^2-12\text{t}=0

3\text{t}(\text{t}-4)=0

\text{t}=0,4

height of rocket will be 0 at time t=0s and t=4s

\text{t}=0 , time when rocket is launched

\text{t}=4 , time when rocket hits ground

Total time taken to hit the ground=4-0=4\text{s}

Time taken by rocket to hit the ground is 4 seconds.

A motorboat travels 275 kilometers in 5 hours going upstream. It travels 405 kilometers going downstream in the same amount of t
VladimirAG [237]

Step-by-step explanation:

275 \times 5 = 1375

The rate of the motorboat on still water is 1375

405 \times 5 = 2025

The current rate of the motorboat is 2025

The sequence 2,6,18,54 shows the number of sit-ups Alan can do each day.
jek_recluse [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

this sequence is geometric not arithmetic

HOw we know that ??

when we get a common difference  that must Be equal  

d=6-2=4  not equal to  d=18-6=12

So it is not arithmetic

but when we get the common ratio that also must be equal

r=6/2=18/6=54/18=3    equal

So it is geometric

By using this equation:

a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)

and we have a(1)=2 , r=3    

<u>Explicit rule:</u> a(n)=2*(3)^(n-1)

<u>Recursive rule:</u>  a(n)= r * a(n-1)

a(n-1) ⇒ priviuse term

SO:  a(n)= 3 * a(n-1)

For example:

a(3)= 3 * 6 =18

Answer:

The value of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Quadrilateral ABCD is congruent to quadrilateral JKLM

∴ AB = JK and BC = KL

∴ CD = LM and AD = JM

∵ BC = 8x + 7

∵ KL = 31

∵ BC = KL

→ Equate their right sides

∴ 8x + 7 = 31

→ Subtract 7 from both sides

∵ 8x + 7 - 7 = 31 - 7

∴ 8x = 24

→ Divide both sides by 8 to find x

∴ \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{24}{8}

∴ x = 3

∴ The value of x is 3
