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

Please answer number 1? Thank you
Naddik [55]

Answer:

This is a normal distribution and we can use the standard score to compute for probabilities. We compute the standard score of the given.

Explnation:

z = (x - mu)/sd

z = (2625 - 2600)/50 = 25/50 = 0.5.

Consulting the z-table, P(z <= 0.5) = 0.6915.

P(z > 0.5) = 1 - P(z <= 0.5) = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085.

I hope this helped! <3
