A model rocket is launched from the ground with an initial velocity of 120 feet per second. The height of an object h, in feet,

after t seconds, with initial velocity v0 and initial height h0 is given by h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 . What is the approximate maximum height the rocket reaches?

Answer:

The rocket will reach a maximum height of 225 feet from the ground in 3.75 seconds.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Initial velocity = v_0 = 120 feet per second

Initial heigth = h_0

h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + h_0

h(t) is a function of t that gives height of the rocket at time t, initial velocity v_0. intial height h_0.

Differentiating h(t) with respect to t, we get:

\displaysttyle\frac{d(h(t))}{dt} = -32t + v_0

Equating the first derivative to zero,

-32t + v_0 = 0\\-32t = -120 \\t = \displaystyle\frac{120}{32} = 3.75

Again differentiating, h(t) with respect to t,

\displaysttyle\frac{d^2(h(t))}{dt^2} = -32 < 0

Hence, h(t) will have a local maxima by double derivative test.

Maximum height attained by rocket =

h(\displaystyle\frac{120}{32}) = -16\times \frac{120}{32}\times \frac{120}{32} + 120\times \frac{120}{32} + 0 = 225 \text{ feet}

Hence, the rocket will reach a maximum height of 225 feet from the ground in 3.75 seconds.

A line passes through (2, 9) and has a zero slope. Write an equation of the line satisfying the given conditions.
zubka84 [21]
Okay so for finding the equation of a line, which is a function, the equation is set to y, so you can eliminate A and B. When the slope of an equation is 0, we are saying that the y value of any point of the line is going to be the same, which is 9 from the given point (2,9).

So the answer is C. y=9

A father is 28 years older than his son. in 8 years time he will be 3 times as old as his son. how old is the father now?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

f = s + 28          Eq. 1

f+8 = 3(s+8)      Eq. 2

f = father age

s = son age

replacing Eq. 1 on Eq. 2

(s+28) + 8 = 3(s+8)

s + 36 = 3*s + 3*8

s + 36 = 3s + 24

36 - 24 = 3s - s

12 = 2s

12/2 = s

s = 6

from the Eq. 1

f = 6 + 28

f = 34

Check

from the Eq. 2

34+8 = 3(6+8)

42 = 3*14
