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.

The sum of two consecutive integers is 65. what are the two integers? show steps please.
Gnoma [55]

Hi student, let me help you out! :)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We are asked to find the two integers, given that they are consecutive, and their sum is 65.

\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}

  • Consecutive integers are right next to each other, like 12 and 13. or 65 and 66.

Let the first integer be x, and let the second integer be x+1.

Their sum is 65. Let's set up our equation:

\longmapsto\sf{x+x+1=65}

Combine like terms:

\longmapsto\sf{2x+1=65}

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equal sign:

\longmapsto\sf{2x=64}

Divide both sides by 2:

\longmapsto\sf{x=32}

To find the second integer, subtract the first integer from the sum of the two integers:

\longmapsto\pmb{65-32}

\longmapsto\pmb{33}

The integers are: 33 and 32.

Hope it helps you out! :D

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 7.4 in and a base with a diameter of 5.4 in. Round your answer to
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

approximately 56.51 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cone = 1 / 3 × pi × radius^2 × height

= 1/3 × 22/7 × 7.29 × 7.4

= 56.5148 cubic inches
