A toy rocket is launched vertically from 5 feet above ground level with an initial velocity of 112 feet per second. The height h

after t seconds is given by the equation h(t)=-16t^2+112t+5.
a. How long will it take for the rocket to return to the ground?
b. After how many seconds will the rocket be 100 feet above the ground?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)The height h after t seconds is given by the equation h(t)=-16t^2+112t+5.

Where 5 represents 5feet above the ground and this is the height from which the rocket was launched.

The equation is a quadratic equation. The plot of this equation on a graph would give a parabola whose vertex would be equal to the maximum height travelled by the rocket.

The vertex of the parabola is calculated as follows,

Vertex = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = -16

b = 112

Vertex = - - 112/32= 3.5

So the rocket will attain maximum height at 3.5 seconds.

It will also take 3.5 seconds to reach the ground. This means it will take a total of 3.5 seconds + 3.5 seconds

= 7 seconds to hit the ground.

b) to find time it will take to be 100 feet above the ground,

-16t^2+112t-95 = 0

Using general quadratic equation formula,

a = -16

b = 112

c = -95

t = [-b+/-√b^2-4ac]/2a

t = [ -112 +/-√112^2-4×-16×-95]/16 × -2

= [-112 +/-√12544-6080]/-32

= (-112+80.4)/-32 or (-112-80.4)/-32

t = 0.9875 or t = 6.0125

So it will take 0.9875 or approximately 1 second to be 100 feet above the ground

1.  We have to find the fifth term of f(n) = 7 - 4(n - 1). 
That means x = 5. Substitute 5 into the equation for x. 
f(n) = 7 - 4(5 - 1) 
Subtract 5 - 1. 
f(n) = 7 - 4(4) 
Multiply 4 by 4. 
f(n) = 7 - 16 
Subtract 16 from 7. 
f(n) = -9 
The answer is D. 

2. Since we have to find the first 4 terms, we have to solve for x = 1, 2, 3, & 4. 
Multiply 1, 2, 3, and 4 by 6. We now have: 
f(x) = 6 - 25   f(x) = 12 - 25   f(x) = 18 - 25   f(x) = 24 - 25 
Subtract 25 from the first term: 6, 12, 18, and 24. 
f(x) = -19   f(x) = -13   f(x) = -7   f(x) = -1 
The answer is C. 

3. Now, we have to find the first 3 terms of f(x) = 10(2)^x.  So x is 1, 2, & 3. 
Raise 2 to the powers of 1, 2, and 3. The equations are now: 
f(x) = 10(2)   f(x) = 10(4)   f(x) = 10(8) 
Then multiply 10 by the three terms: 2, 4, and 8. 
f(x) = 20   f(x) = 40   f(x) = 80 
The answer is A. 

4. Find the 21st term of f(n) = 2 + 9(n - 1). Substitute 21 for n. 
f(n) = 2 + 9(21 - 1) 
Subtract 1 from 21. 
f(n) = 2 + 9(20) 
Multiply 9 by 20. 
f(n) = 2 + 180
Add 2 to 180. 
f(n) = 182 
The answer is B. 

5. Which sequence is described by f(n) = 2(3)^x-5. 
This is the only one which I'm not sure how to solve. Since I don't know, I won't answer it because I don't want to give you the wrong answer to the question, sorry about that. 

6. The ninth term in f(n) = 384(1/2)^n-1. Put 9 in for n & subtract 1 from 9. 
f(n) = 384(1/2)^8 
Raise 1/2 to the power of 8.
f(n) = 384(1/256) 
Multiply 1/256 by 384. 
f(n) = 384/256 
Reduce the fraction & make it a mixed number. 
f(n) = 1 1/2 

Hope this helped!

On a baseball field, the pitcher’s mound is 60.5 feet from home plate. During practice, a batter hits a ball 195 feet at an angl
worty [1.4K]

In this problem, we can imagine that all the points connect to form a triangle. The three point or vertices are located on the pitcher mount, the home plate and where the outfielder catches the ball. So in this case we are given two sides of the triangle and the angle in between the two sides.

<span>With the following conditions, we can use the cosine law to solve for the unknown 3rd side. The formula is:</span>

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ

Where,

a = 60.5 ft

b = 195 ft

θ = 32°

Substituting the given values:

c^2 = (60.5)^2 + (195)^2 – 2 (60.5) (195) cos 32

c^2 = 3660.25 + 38025 – 20009.7

c^2 = 21,675.56

c = 147.23 ft

<span>Therefore the outfielder throws the ball at a distance of 147.23 ft towards the home plate.</span>
