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

8 foot path

1st step = 8/2 = 4ft
2nd step = 4/2 = 2ft
3rd step = 2/2 = 1ft
4th step = 1/2 = 1/2ft

So he covered 7 1/2 ft (or 7.5ft)

3² +4² = 5²,
AlekseyPX

Answer:

They are all true

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3² +4² = 5²

3x3 + 4x4 = 5x5

  9   +  16  =  25

25 = 25

-----------------------

2. 6² + 8² = 10²

36 + 64 = 100

100 = 100

------------------

3. 9² + 12² = 15²

81 + 144 = 225

225 = 225

-------------------

4. 5² +12² =13²

25 + 144 = 169

169 =169

-------------------

Answer:

\tan(51°)  =  \frac{10}{x}  \\x =  \frac{10}{ \tan(51°) }  \\ x = \frac{10}{1.235}  \\ \boxed{ x = 8.1}

<h3>★ Value of x is <u>8.1</u>.</h3>

\sin(51°)=  \frac{10}{H}  \\ h =  \frac{10}{ \sin(51°) }  \\ H=  \frac{10}{0.777}  \\  \boxed{H= 12.8676}

<h3>★ Value of H is <u>12.8676</u>.</h3>

Remember:

  • tan∅=Perpendicular/Base
  • sin∅=Perpendicular/Hypotenuse
