Posted a picture showing the solution. Everything is on it, including calculations.
The answer is 142 square inches (or 142 in.^2) same thing.
Hope this helps!
Answer: The rocket will reach its max after 4 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to find the maximum height, we have to set the first derivative of the equation equal to zero.
y=-16x^2+128x+136
0 = (2)-16x +128
0= -32x+128
Solving for x:
32x = 128
x = 128/32
x = 4 seconds
The rocket will reach its max after 4 seconds
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
x =
or x = - 
consider the factors of the product 6 × - 4 = - 24 which sum to the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)
the factors are + 8 and - 3 ( split the middle term using these factors
6x² - 3x + 8x - 4 = 0 ( factor by grouping )
3x(2x - 1) + 4(2x - 1 ) ( take out common factor of (2x - 1) )
= (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 
3x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 
To get -2 from 2, you would multiple by -1.
To get 2 from -2, you also would multiple by -1.
Ad infinitum.
So the common ratio is -1.
Hope this helps.
