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

The population of a city in 2005 was 15,000. By 2015, the city's population had grown to 45,000 people. Assuming that the popula
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The population of the city in the year 2025 will be 85,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the city in year 2005 = 15,000

The population of the city in the year 2015  = 45,000

⇒ The change in population in 10 years

= Population in year 2015 - Population in the year 2005

= 45,000  - 15, 000

= 30,000

⇒ The change in population in 10 years  = 30,000

Now, the population in the year 2015 = 45, 000

Let us assume the number of population in the year 2025 = m

Here, according to the question:

Since, the CHANGE OF RATE is a linear growth since 2005.

⇒ The change in population in each 10 years  = 30,000

⇒ The change in population in next 10 years

  = Population in year 2025 - Population in the year 2015

or, 30, 000 = m - 45, 000

⇒ m = 30,000 + 45,000 = 85,000

or, m = 85,000

Hence, the population of the city in the year 2025 will be 85,000.

If you traveled 5 miles in 10 minutes, how long will it take you to travel 1 mile
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

the first ratio is 5:10 since it is easier to work with big numbers let's start by  multiplying it by 2 to get something

Now we have 10:20 we can divide this by 10 and get the ratio 1:2

1:2 equals 1 mile:2 minutes which is 1 mile in 2 minutes!

Have a nice day and I hope this helps!

If you place a 89-foot ladder against the top of a 80-foot building, how many feet will
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{39 ft}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance from the foot of the ladder to the base of the building.

We have a right triangle, so we can use Pythagoras' Theorem.

\begin{array}{rcl}80^{2} + x^{2}& = & 89^{2} \\6400+ x^{2} & = & 7921\\x^{2} & = & 1521\\x & = & \sqrt{1521}\\& = &\mathbf{39}\\\end{array}\\\text{The foot of the ladder will be $\large \boxed{\textbf{39 ft}}$ from the base of the building,}
