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

The problem below has been solved incorrectly. Identify and explain the error.
mylen [45]

Answer:

If you look over the steps you can see that until 4x + x + 3 = 18, evertything is dandy. But the step after that 4x + x =21 seems a bit fishy.

Think about it they subtract 3 from both sides so the first side is correct

4x + x, but they added 3 to the other side:

(4x+x+3) - 3 = 18 - 3\\4x+x = 15

not

4x+x = 21

Then we solve for 4x + x = 15

5x = 15\\x = \frac{15}{5} \\x = 3

To solve for y we use :

y = x+3

y = 3+3 = 6

so (3,6) is the right answer

Rani deposited AED 12000 for 3 years at the rate of 5 percent per annum. Calculate the simple interest and amount at the end of
Luda [366]

Answer:

the principal and the amount is 1,800 and 13,800 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the simple interest and amount for the end of the 3rd year is shown below:

Simple interest is

= Principal × rate of interest × time period

= 12,000 × 5% × 3 years

= 1,800

Now the amount is

= 12,000 + 1,800

= 13,800

hence, the principal and the amount is 1,800 and 13,800 respectively
