Answer:

The maximun height that the rocket will reach is 3150 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requieres that we maximize the function. For this we need the function to be of the form:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

We already have that covered, as the height of the rocket is represented by:

h(t)=-14t^2+420t

We start calculating the derivative of h(t), wich is:

h'(t)=-28t+420

We need to remember that the derivative of a function represents the slope of said function at a given point. The maximum value of the function will have a slope equal to zero.

So we find the value in wich the derivative equals zero:

0=-28t+420\\28t=420\\t=\frac{420}{28}\\t=15

This means that 15 seconds is the time at wich the rocket will reach it's maximum height.

We replace this value in the original equation to solve the problem:

h(15)=(-14)(15^2)+(420)(15)\\h(15)=-3150+6300\\h(15)=3150

With this we can conclude that the maximum height the rocket will reach is 3150 ft.

A rectangular parking area measuring 5000 ft squared is to be enclosed on three sides using​ chain-link fencing that costs ​$5.5
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Dimensions: 75.3778 ft and 66.3325 ft

Minimum price: $1658.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length of the parking area 'x', and the width 'y'.

Then, we can write the following equations:

-> Area of the park:

x * y = 5000

-> Price of the fences:

P = 2*x*5.5 + y*5.5 + y*7

P = 11*x + 12.5*y

From the first equation, we have that y = 5000/x

Using this value in the equation for P, we have:

P = 11*x + 12.5*5000/x = 11*x + 62500/x

To find the minimum of this function, we need to take its derivative and then make it equal to zero:

dP/dx = 11 - 62500/x^2 = 0

x^2 = 65000/11

x = 250/sqrt(11) = 75.3778 ft

This is the x value that gives the minimum cost.

Now, finding y and P, we have:

x*y = 5000

y = 5000/75.3778 = 66.3325

P = 11*x + 62500/x = $1658.31

Find the value of x.
castortr0y [4]

The angle x has a measure of 110 degrees

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

From the question, we have the triangle shape that can be used in our computation:

On the triangle, the external angles are

x, 140 and 110

These angles are on the same straight line with their corresponding internal angles

By the angle on a straight line theorem, we have the internal angles to be

180 - x, 180 - 140 and 180 - 110

The sum of these angles is 180

So, we have

180 - x + 180 - 140 + 180 - 110 = 180

Evaluate

x = 110

Hence, the value of x is 110 degrees
