1.) You plug a number into the variable x. Then you will solve the equation for h(x) to find the time it takes for the rocket to travel the path given.
Please find attached photograph for your answer. The answer will be option B.
The formula for this is

. If the diameter is 8 the radius is 4, so filling in accordingly we have

and

which is

and when you multiply in 3.14 you get that A = 401.92 or B above.
First find X by subtracting 9.8 from 14.7
X should equal 4.9
than fill in the equation for x
8(4.9-3.7)
you then subtract in the parenthasis
getting the answer of 1.2
finally multiply 1.2x8
Your final answer is 9.6
