A model rocket is launched from the ground with an initial velocity of 160 ft/sec. how long will it take the rocket to reach its

maximum height? Show all work in the space provided. Assume the model rocket’s parachute failed to deploy and the rocket fell back to the ground. How long would it take the rocket to return to Earth from the time it was launched? Show all work in the space provided.

The formula we need is
h(t)=-16t^2+v_0 t+h_0, where <em>v</em>₀ is the starting velocity and <em>h</em>₀ is the initial height.  Using the velocity and starting height from our problem we have
h(t)=-16t^2+160t+0.  The path of this rocket will be a downward facing parabola, so there will be a maximum.  This maximum will be at the vertex of the graph.  To find the vertex we start out with x= \frac{-b}{2a}, which in our case is x= \frac{-160}{2(-16)}= \frac{-160}{-32} = 5.  It will take 5 seconds for the rocket to reach its maximum height.  Plugging this back into our formula gives us
h(5)=-16(5^2)+160(5)+0&#10;\\=-16(25)+800&#10;\\=-400+800=400
The rocket's maximum height is 400 feet.
We set our formula equal to zero to find the time it takes to hit the ground, then we factor:
0=-16t^2+160t+0&#10;\\0=-16t^2+160t&#10;\\0=-16t(t-10)
Using the zero product property, we know that either -16t =0 or t-10=0.  When -16t=0 is at t=0, when the rocket is launched. t-10=0 gives us an answer of t=10, so the rocket reaches the ground again at 10 seconds.

Answer:   B. (-4, 0)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The question is: when is the <u>function</u> constant?

function is also called f(x), which is also called "y".

So the question is asking: when is the y-value constant?

the y-value is constant (not increasing or decreasing) between x = -4 and x = 0. So the interval is (-4, 0)

What type of triangle has an exterior angle that is obtuse at to vertices?
Norma-Jean [14]
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. Example : Find the values of x and y in the following triangle. y + 92° = 180° (interior angle + adjacent exterior angle = 180°.)

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtraction Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set Huilan's age to h and Thomas's age to t.

Since Huilan is 13 years younger than Thomas, we can write:

  • h = t - 13

The sum of both their ages is 41, so let's combine the variables h and t together.

  • h + t = 41

We said that h = t - 13, so substitute this value into the equation.

  • (t - 13) + t = 41

Combine like terms.

  • 2t - 13 = 41

Add 13 to both sides of the equation.

  • 2t = 54

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.

  • t = 27

Thomas's age is 27 years old.

Thank you L for helping me with this question :)
