NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by h ( t ) = − 4.

9 t 2 + 118 t + 115 . Assuming that the rocket will splash down into the ocean, at what time does splashdown occur? The rocket splashes down after seconds. How high above sea-level does the rocket get at its peak? The rocket peaks at meters above sea-level.

Answer:

A.) 24.08 seconds

B.) 825.42 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

function of time is given as

h ( t ) = − 4.9 t 2 + 118 t + 115 .

Where a = -4.9, b = 118, c = 115

Let's assume that the trajectory of the rocket is a perfect parabola.

The time t the rocket will reach its maximum height will be at the symmetry of the parabola.

t = -b/2a

Substitute b and a into the formula

t = -118/-2(4.9)

t = 118/9.8

t = 12.041 seconds

Since NASA launches the rocket at t = 0 seconds, the time it will splash down into the ocean will be 2t.

2t = 2 × 12.041 = 24.08 seconds

Therefore, the rocket splashes down after 24.08 seconds.

B.) At maximum height, time t = 12.041s

Substitute t for 12.041 in the function

h ( t ) = − 4.9 t 2 + 118 t + 115

h(t) = -4.9(12.041)^2 + 118(12.041) + 115

h(t) = -4.9(144.98) + 118(12.041) + 115

h(t) = -710.402 + 1420.82 + 115

h(t) = 825.42 metres

Therefore, the rocket get to the peak at 825.42 metres

What is the range of the data set? <br><br> 61<br> 40<br> 41<br> 55
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the difference between the largest value and the smallest value in the data set.

minimum value = 21 and maximum value = 61

range = 61 - 21 = 40

Let $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CD}$ be chords of a circle, that meet at point $Q$ inside the circle. If $AQ = 6,$ $BQ = 12$,
Cloud [144]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

The products of chord lengths are the same for the intersecting chords:

  AQ×BQ = CQ×DQ

  6×12 = CQ×(38 -CQ)

This gives a quadratic in CQ:

  CQ² -38CQ +72 = 0 . . . . . write in standard form

  (CQ -2)(CQ -36) = 0 . . . . . factor the quadratic

  CQ = 2 or 36 . . . . . . . values of CQ that make the factors zero

The minimum length of CQ is 2 units. (DQ will be 36.)
