A model rocket is launched with an initial upward velocity of 202 ft/s. The rocket's height h (in feet) after t seconds is given

by the following.
h= 202t-16t^2
Find all values of t for which the rocket's height is 82 feet.

Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The rocket will reach a height of 82 feet at:

t1=0.42s

and

t2=12.21s

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are asked to find the value(s) of t for which the rocket's height is 82 feet, so, we need to replace the height value (82 feet) into the given quadratic equation, and then, isolate "t" making the equation equal to 0.

So, writing the quadratic formula, we have:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

The given function is:

-16x^2+202x=h

Substituting h equal to 82 feet, we have:

-16x^2+202x=82

-16x^2+202x-82=0

Where,

a=-16\\b=202\\c=-82

Then, substituting it into the quadratic equation we have:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-202+-\sqrt{202x^{2} -4*-16*-82} }{2*-16}\\\\\frac{-202+-\sqrt{202x^{2} -4*-16*-82} }{2*-16}=\frac{-202+-\sqrt{40804-5248} }{-32}\\\\\frac{-202+-\sqrt{40804-5248} }{-32}=\frac{-202+-\sqrt{35556} }{-32}=\frac{-202+-(188.56) }{-32}\\\\t1=\frac{-202+(188.56) }{-32}=0.42\\\\t2=\frac{-202-(188.56) }{-32}=12.205=12.21

So, the rocket will reach a height of 82 feet at:

t1=0.42s

and

t2=12.21s

Have a nice day!

PLEASE HELP!!

Standard form is just putting (in this case) variables in alphabetical order. First we simplify- 2x+4=4y would become 1/2x+1=y. This is already in standard form, as numbers w/o variables come at the end. simplifying the next one is more tricky. first you get a variable/number alone-
9-2x-2y=4x+3
9-2y=6x+3
6-2y=6x
1-1/3y=x
1=x+1/3y
3=x+y
x+y=3
sorry if I was wrong and not of any help, But I do believe this is correct.

I’m confused on this one
Dmitriy789 [7]

It just happens that tan 14 degrees is about 0.25 or 1/4. According to my calculator, it's actaull 0.249.


Now try finding tan 76 degrees to approx. the same level of accuracy.


tan 76 deg = (via calculator) 4.0108. this could be re-written as 4 or 4.1.

Which graph is correct?

C
There are many ways to see it. First is the dotted and solid lines
The dotted lines mean that it doesn’t include the answer while the dotted line says it does.
When something is greater it’s going to be shaded on top of the line and when something is less it’s going to be shaded below the line
