Let’s look at another one of Homer’s rocket launches. It was launched from ground level with an initial velocity of 208 feet per

second. Its distance in feet from the ground after t seconds is given by S(t) = -16t2 + 208t. What is the maximum altitude (height) the rocket will attain during its flight? (Think about where the maximum value of a parabola occurs.)

Answer:

Smax = 676 ft

the maximum altitude (height) the rocket will attain during its flight is 676 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The height function S(t) of the rocket as;

S(t) = -16t2 + 208t

The maximum altitude Smax, will occur at dS/dt = 0

differentiating S(t);

dS/dt = -32t + 208 = 0

-32t +208 = 0

32t = 208

t = 208/32

t = 6.5 seconds.

The maximum altitude Smax is;

Substituting t = 6.5 s

Smax = -16(6.5)^2 + 208(6.5)

Smax = 676 ft

the maximum altitude (height) the rocket will attain during its flight is 676 ft

Solve the following equations: <br> 5x-(x+2)^2=x^2-8+x
Blababa [14]

Answer:

x = √2 = 1.414

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-(x+2)^2=x^2-8+x

since (x+2)^2 = x^2 + 2(x)(2) + 2^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4

so

5x - (x^2 + 4x + 4) = x^2 + x - 8

-x^2 + x - 4 = x^2 + x - 8

x^2 + x^2 + x - x = -4 + 8

2x^2 = 4

x^2 = 2

x = √2 = 1.414

DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND QUADRATIC APPLICATIONS FOR ALGEBRA 1???? PLS DONT RESOND IF YOU DINT KNOW
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1 ) Vertex form.

2 ) Standard form.

3 ) I'm not sure about this one, but there are only 3 forms, in which the last one is factored form, and the other two are above, so it must be factored form.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ) Vertex form : y = a( x - h )² + k

Vertex form shows you where the vertex(the lowest/highest point aka ( h, k ) ) of the parabola is, without graphing it. (But you could graph it and find the vertex like that, I recommend you use desmos graphing)

2 )Standard form : y = ax² + bx + c

Standard form can be used to show the y-intercept( aka c ), in this case, where the snowball was thrown from. (Again, you can graph it and find where he parabola hits the y axis)

3 ) Factored form : ( ax + c )( bx + d )

Factored form tells us the x-intercepts, or in this case where the snowball landed or how long the snowball is in the air. (like i said, you could graph it, and find the points(there could be only one or maybe none in some cases) that are on the x axis)

I know this was four days ago, but I hope this helped you understand a little better.
