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

The sea level is represented by h = 0, therefore, to find the corresponding time when h splashes into the ocean we have to solve for t the following equation:

Using the quadratic formula, the solution for our problem is

The rocket splashes after 26.845 seconds.
The maximum of this function happens at the root of the derivative. Differentiating our function, we have

The root is

Then, the maximum height is

1029.99 meters above sea level.
Answer:
This contradicts the Mean Value Theorem since there exists a c on (1, 7) such that f '(c) = f(7) − f(1) (7 − 1) , but f is not continuous at x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is

When we differentiate this function with respect to x, we get;

We want to find all values of c in (1,7) such that f(7) − f(1) = f '(c)(7 − 1)
This implies that;




![c-3=\sqrt[3]{63.15789}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c-3%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B63.15789%7D)
![c=3+\sqrt[3]{63.15789}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%3D3%2B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B63.15789%7D)

If this function satisfies the Mean Value Theorem, then f must be continuous on [1,7] and differentiable on (1,7).
But f is not continuous at x=3, hence this hypothesis of the Mean Value Theorem is contradicted.
I hope you find it helpful
Can u put a picture of the question with this so I can answer it.
Answer:
b) 15 winners
Step-by-step explanation
if 3 winners get $720,000 each that means there is $2,160,000 total. So if each winner gets $144,000 each that means there are 15 winners.
(2,160,000/ 144,000)
