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

15. Find the length of segment DE of the triangle ABC.
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Option C. 26\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangles ADE and ABC are similar by AA similarity postulate

AB=2AD

Apply proportion

\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{AD}{2AD}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\12x+4=16x-12\\ \\16x-12x=4+12\\ \\4x=16\\ \\x=4\ units

Find the length of segment DE

DE=8x-6=8(4)-6=26\ units
