Answer:

The rocket will reach its maximum height after 6.13 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time of the maximum height of the rocket differentiate the equation of the height with respect to the time and then equate the differentiation by 0 to find the time of the maximum height

∵ y is the height of the rocket after launch, x seconds

∵ y = -16x² + 196x + 126

- Differentiate y with respect to x

∴ y' = -16(2)x + 196

∴ y' = -32x + 196

- Equate y' by 0

∴ 0 = -32x + 196

- Add 32x to both sides

∴ 32x = 196

- Divide both sides by 32

∴ x = 6.125 seconds

- Round it to the nearest hundredth

∴ x = 6.13 seconds

∴ The rocket will reach its maximum height after 6.13 seconds

There is another solution you can find the vertex point (h , k) of the graph of the quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c, where h = -\frac{b}{2a} and k is the value of y at x = h and k is the maximum/minimum value

∵ a = -16 , b = 196

∴ h=-\frac{196}{2(-16)}

∴ h = 6.125

∵ h is the value of x at the maximum height

∴ x = 6.125 seconds

- Round it to the nearest hundredth

∴ x = 6.13 seconds

The equation of the line that is parallel<br> to 4x+2 and passing through (5,15)
Mila [183]

Answer:

y=4x-5.

Step-by-step explanation:

slop-interception form of the required line is y=kx+b, where k - slop, b - intercept;

1) to find value of k:

if the required line is parallel to the given line, then slop of the given line = slop of the required line, it means k=4 and the required line is y=4x+b;

2) to find the value of 'b':

if to substitute the given coordinates into the equation of the given line, then:

15=4*5+b, b= -5.

3) finally, y=4x-5

Answer:

a. ∠D'A'B'

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph it is clear that the transformation doesn't affect the size and shape of the figure ABCD.

Only the coordinates of the points are changed with the length of each side remaining the same.

Hence the corresponding angle values will also remain unaltered.

∴ ∠DAB = ∠D'A'B'
