Answer:

At t=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since h(t) represents the height of the rocket at time t, we can plug in the height of 96 feet and set that equal to the function h(x). This means we get:

96=-16t^2+80t

This can now be solved for by doing the following:

96=-16t^2+80t\\0=-16t^2+80t-96\\

From this point we now have quadratic to work with. Using the quadratic formula we can see that:

x=\frac{-80{\pm}\sqrt{80^2-4\left(-16\right)\left(-96\right)}}{2\left(-16\right)}=\frac{-80{\pm}\sqrt{256}}{-32}=\frac{-80{\pm}16}{-32}

If we solve for both the plus version and minus version of the formula we get:

t=\frac{-80+16}{-32}= \frac{-64}{-32}=2\\ \\t=\frac{-80-16}{-32}= \frac{-96}{-32}=3

So the rocket will be at a height of 96 feet after 2 and 3 seconds. However the question asks when it will reach the height so we choose the smaller time. Therefore the answer is t=2 or after 2 seconds

Write 24 as a product of its prime factors.
Alex777 [14]
<span>prime factors are prime numbers that can be multiplied to give the number.
to find the prime factors the number is divided by the prime numbers by which the number is divisible.
                                                                               
24 / 3 = 8                                                                            
8 / 2 = 4                                                                                
4 / 2 = 2                                                                             
2 / 2 = 1                                                                                 
24 is divisible by 3 , 2 , 2 and 2.
therefore 24 written as a product of its prime factors is 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3</span>

Answer:

The sum of the first 100 terms is 60400

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the arithmetic sequence

- There is a constant difference between each two consecutive

  numbers

- Ex:

# 2  ,  5  ,  8  ,  11  ,  ……………………….

# 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  ,  …………………………

# 12  ,  10  ,  8  ,  6  ,  ……………………………

* General term (nth term) of an Arithmetic sequence:

- U1 = a  ,  U2  = a + d  ,  U3  = a + 2d  ,  U4 = a + 3d  ,  U5 = a + 4d

- Un = a + (n – 1)d, where a is the first term , d is the difference

 between each two consecutive terms n is the position of the

 number

- The sum of first n terms of an Arithmetic sequence is calculate from

 Sn = n/2[a + l], where a is the first term and l is the last term

* Now lets solve the problem

- We will use method (1)

- From the table the terms of the sequence are:

 10 , 22 , 34 , 46 , 58 , 82 , 94 , ............., where 10 is the first term

∵ an = a1 + (n - 1) d ⇒ explicit formula

∵ a1 = 10 and a2 = 22

∵ d = a2 - a1

∴ d = 22 - 10 = 12

- The 100th term means the term of n = 100

∴ a100 = 10 + (100 - 1) 12

∴ a100 = 10 + 99 × 12 = 10 + 1188 = 1198

∴ The 100th term is 1198

- Lets find the sum of the first 100 terms of the sequence

∵ Sn = n/2[a1 + an]

∵ n = 100 , a = 10 , a100 = 1198

∴ S100 = 100/2[10 + 1198] = 50[1208] = 60400

* The sum of the first 100 terms is 60400
