After t seconds, the height h(t) of a model rocket launched from the ground into the air is given by the function h(t)=-16t^2+80

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

Select two points that the line would go through. Practice graphing it on a piece of paper in front of you.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

(2, -2) and (1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept means that the coordinate where the line touches the y-axis. In other words, the y value(-4) when x=0. The result is (0, -4). The y coordinate also can be used to fill c variable of y=mx + c

We have 2 coordinates now, (3, -1) and (0, -4), then we can find out the line equation. We need to find the slope (m), the formula will be:

m= y2-y1 / x2-x1=  

m= -4 - (-1) / (0-3)

m= -3/-3= 1

The line equation is:

y= mx + c

y= 1x + (-4)

y= x-4

After you have the equation, you can try to test the point individually to find if any of them fit the equation. You can also draw a line on the graph and see if any point touches the graph.

Red dot is the two point we have, red line is straight line that made from both point, and blue point is the option. As you can see on the graph, the points that touch the line will be (2, -2) and (1,-3)
