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.

Answer:

By hypotenuse - side test (HL) the two triangles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ∆ABC and ∆DCB

i) angleABC = angleDCB.....(each 90°)

ii) BC = BC .....( common side)

iii) AC = DB.....(given)

therefore by hypo-side test ∆ABC congruent ∆DCB

Walden’s family is shopping for a reclining chair. The chair the family decided on has a retail price of $800 plus 5% sales tax
Marianna [84]

Answer:

B 10% off sale, with a total price to pay of 756

Step-by-step explanation:

Retail price (Rp) = $800

Taxes (T) = 5%

  • Offer A $75 instant rebate

Total price A (TA) = Rp - 75 + (Rp - 75) 5%

TA = 800 - 75 + (800-75) 5%

TA = 725 + 725 5%

725 5% = 725*5/100 = 36.25

TA= 725+36.25 = $761.25

  • Offer B 10% off sale

Total price B (TB) = RP - RP 10% + (RP - RP 10%) 5%

TB = 800 - 800 10% + (800 - 800 10%) 5%

800 10% = 800*10/100 = 80

TB = 800 - 80 + (800 - 80) 5%

TB = 720 + 720 5%

720 5% = 720*5/100 = 36

TB = 720 + 36 = $756

  • Offer C 5% off sale plus store pays sales tax

store pays sales tax means Walden's family will not need pay for taxes

Total price C (TC) = RP - RP 5%

TC = 800 - 800 5%

800 5% = 800*5/100 = 40

TC = 800 - 40 = $760

  • Offer D a “no tax” sale—the store pays the tax

Means that Walden's family will need pay just the retail price

TD = $800

The beast deal is from the store B
