Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the function of the height of a rocket after t seconds is:

h(t)=-9.8t^2+107.8t

We want to find the interval of time such that the rocket is higher than 294 meters.

So, substitute 294 for h(t) and solve for t:

294=-9.8t^2+107.8t

Just as it happens, everything is divisible by -9.8. So, divide everything by -9.8. This yields:

-30=t^2-11t

Add 30 to both sides:

t^2-11t+30=0

Factor. We can use -6 and -5. So:

(t-6)(t-5)=0

Zero Product Property:

t-6=0\text{ or } t-5=0

Solve for each equation:

t=6\text{ or } t=5

So, our answers are 5 seconds and 6 seconds.

Therefore, <em>between</em> the fifth and sixth second, the rocket is higher than 294 meters.

Note that at exactly the fifth and sixth second, our height is exactly 294 meters, not higher.

Therefore, we won't include 5 and 6 in our solution set.

As an inequality, this is:

5

In interval notation, this is:

(5,6)

And we're done!

What’s the mean of the data set 17,24,26,13
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, add up all the numbers in the data set, and then divide by the number of terms in the data set

<em>Add </em>

Add up the numbers in the data set

17+24+26+13

80

<em>Divide </em>

Divide by the number of terms in the data set

In this case, there are 4 terms (17, 24, 26, 13)

80/4=20

The mean of the data set is 20

THE HEIGHT OF THE KITE FROM THE GROUND=80mtr

Step-by-step explanation:

let H be the height of kite from ground

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total height lowered = 75m

No of times balloon lowered = 5

Height lowered in each lowering = Total height lowered / No of times balloon lowered

                                                       = 75 / 5

                                                      = 15 m

The number indicated that each time balloon is lowered by 15 m
