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.

iragen [17]

Answer:

$87.5  more did Alex earn in one month than Ben

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Last year Alex earned a monthly salary of $250,and Ben earned monthly salary of $180.

This year, each of them received a pay increase of 25% .

25% is written in the decimal form.

= \frac{25}{100}

= 0.25

Increase in the Alex salary this year = 0.25 × Last year salary

                                                             = 0.25 × 250

                                                             = $62.5

Total amount of Alex salary this year for one month = Last year salary + Increase in the Alex salary this year

                                                                                      = 250 + 62.5

                                                                                      = $ 312.5

Thus the salary earn by the Alex this year for a month be $312.5.

Increase in the Ben salary this year = 0.25 × Last year salary

                                                             = 0.25 × 180

                                                             = $45

Total amount of Ben salary this year for one month = Last year salary + Increase in the Ben salary this year

                                                                                      = 180 + 45

                                                                                      = $ 225

Thus the salary earn by the Alex this year for a month be $ 225 .

Amount Alex earn in one month than Ben = Total amount of Alex salary this year for one month  - Total amount of Ben salary this year for one month

Putting the values in the above

                                                                    = $ 312.5 - $225

                                                                    = $ 87.5

Therefore $87.5  more did Alex earn in one month than Ben .

HELP!! I can't fail. 4 and 5 please!
victus00 [196]

Answer:

4) x = -3 or 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We factories each algebraic expression

4) x² -5x - 24 = 0

x² - 8x + 3x - 24 = 0

(x² - 8x) + (3x - 24) = 0

x(x - 8) + 3(x - 8) = 0

(x + 3)(x - 8) = 0

x + 3 = 0, x = -3

x - 8 = 0, x = 8

x = -3 or 8

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

y=11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3y=2+9

Divide both sides by 3.

3y/3 = (2+9)/3

y=2/3+9/3

Combine like terms.
