A.) The rocket reaches 720 feet in 5 seconds and 9 seconds.

B.) The rocket completes its trajectory and hits the ground in 14 seconds

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A quadratic equation has the following general form:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

The formula to solve this equation is :

\large {\boxed {x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} } }

Let's try to solve the problem now.

<h2>Question A:</h2>

Given :

h = -16 t^2 + 224t

The rocket reaches 720 feet → h = 720 feet

720 = -16 t^2 + 224t

16 t^2 - 224t + 720 = 0

16 (t^2 - 14t + 45 = 0)

t^2 - 14t + 45 = 0

t^2 - 9t - 5t + 45 = 0

t(t - 9) - 5(t - 9) = 0

(t - 5)(t - 9) = 0

t = 5 ~ or ~ t = 9

The rocket reaches 720 feet in 5 seconds and 9 seconds.

<h2>Question B:</h2>

The rocket hits the ground → h = 0 feet

0 = -16 t^2 + 224t

16 (t^2 - 14t ) = 0

t^2 - 14t = 0

t( t - 14 ) = 0

t = 0 ~ or ~ t = 14

The rocket completes its trajectory and hits the ground in 14 seconds

We can model the equation of the height of the rocket as ∩-shape curve as shown below

Part A: 

The time when the height is 720 feet

720 = -16 t^{2}+224t, rearrange to make one side is zero
16 t^{2}-224t+720=0, divide each term by 16
t^{2} -14t+45 =0, factorise to give
(t-9)(t-5)=0
t=9 and t=5

So the rocket reaches the height of 720 feet twice; when t=5 and t=9

Part B:

We will need to find the values of t when the rocket on the ground. The first value of t will be zero as this will be when t=0. We can find the other value of t by equating the function by 0

0=-16 t^{2}+224t
0=-16t(t-14)
-16t=0 and t-14=0
t=0 and t=14

So the time interval when the rocket was launched and when it hits the ground is 14-0 = 14 seconds

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Mr Blake's science class

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of variation.

It tells us how far each of the data set in the distribution are far from the mean of the distribution.

The average score of students in Mr. Blake's science class was 73 with a standard deviation of 11, while the average score of students in Mrs. Arnold's class was 75 with a standard deviation of 10.

Since 11>10, Mr Blake's science class is more variable than Mrs. Arnold's class.
