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!

Write an equation in slope-intercept form: (1,6) and (2,3) are on the line
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Step-by-step explanation:

eqn of line : y = mx+ c

m = slope or gradient

c = y-intercept.

Lets take (1,6) = (x1,y1) and (2,3) = (x2,y2)

m \:  =  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}  \\  =  \frac{6 - 3}{1 - 2}  \\ =  \frac{3}{ - 1}  \\  =  - 3

Substitute x = 1 and y = 6 into equation,

6 = ( - 3)(1) + c \\ 6 =  - 3 + c \\ c = 6 + 3 \\  = 9

Therefore substituting m and c value, equation of line is

y =  - 3x + 9

Is -6.175 is an irrational number?
kipiarov [429]
No.

Any number you can write completely is a rational number.
Any number with a repeating decimal fraction is also a rational number.
___
Any number that goes on forever without repeating is an irrational number. These are usually represented symbolically (because they cannot be written "exactly" any other way). These include such numbers as √2, π, e, ∛(-4), and an infinite number of others.
