The better deal is the 21-ounce one because its unit rate equals less than the 17-ounce one

Break down the price per ounce.

$\frac{4.89}{17} = 28$ [28¢ per ounce]

$\frac{5.69}{21} = 27$ [27¢ per ounce]

The box of Cheerios is the better deal.

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)=−4.9t2+121t

Alenkasestr [34]

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

$h(t)=-4.9t^2+121t+283$

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:

$h(t)=0\implies-4.9t^2+121t+283=0$

Using the quadratic formula, the solution for our problem is

$\begin{gathered} t=\frac{-(121)\pm\sqrt{(121)^2-4(-4.9)(283)}}{2(-4.9)} \\ =\frac{121\pm142.083778...}{9.8} \\ =\frac{121+142.083778...}{9.8} \\ =26.8452834694... \end{gathered}$

The rocket splashes after 26.845 seconds.

The maximum of this function happens at the root of the derivative. Differentiating our function, we have

$h^{\prime}(t)=-9.8t+121$

The root is

$-9.8t+121=0\implies t=\frac{121}{9.8}=12.347$

Then, the maximum height is

$h(12.347)=1029.99$

1029.99 meters above sea level.

PLEASE HELP ME! Find the cube roots of 125(cos 288° + i sin 288°).

shutvik [7]

◆ COMPLEX NUMBERS ◆

125 ( cos 288 + i sin 288 ) can be written as -

125.e^i( 288)
125.e^i( 288 +360 )
125.e^i( 288+ 720)

[ As , multiples of 360 can be added to an angle without changing any trigonometric functions or sign ]

To find the cube root , take the cube root of above 3 expressions ,

We get -
5 e^( i 96 )
5 e^( i 216 )
5 e^( i 336 )

Now using Euler's formula , We rewrite above as -

5 ( cos 96 + i sin 96 )
5(c os 216 + i sin 216 )
5 ( cos 336 + i sin 336 ) Ans.
