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 high school athletic department bought 40 soccer uniforms at a cost of $3,000. After soccer season they returned some uniforms
quester [9]

Interesting problem.

First - let's figure cost of each uniform at purchase.

3,000/40 = $75 each

When some uniforms were returned at $40 - there was a difference of $35 in what they paid and what they rec'd in return. ($75 - 35 = $40)

A train travels 3.5 kilometers on a straight track with grade of 1 degree 10'. What is the vertical rise of the train distance?
denpristay [2]
The answer is 
h = AB sin tetha, 
tetha is <span>1 degree 10' = 1.1°, and AB = 3.5km

the vertical rise is h = 4.7</span>

The expression 12xyz – 45 is a <br> A. trinomial.<br> B. constant.<br> C. binomial.<br> D. monomial.
lubasha [3.4K]
The expression 12xyz - 45 is a binomial because there are two terms that is being separated by the operation '-'. 12xyz is one term; 45 is another term. That makes two terms. Binomial is a polynomial with 2 terms.
