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.

<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!

Can someone tell me the answer to this plz
Tpy6a [65]
M8 =43.
Reason:
134+ M8 =180(degrees). This is because angles on a straight line =180 (degrees)

180-134=M8
Therefore:
M<8 =180-134= 43 (degrees)

Hope this helps and makes sense.

olasank [31]
You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C

Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)

Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9

Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9

Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95

Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79

Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58            -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H

Finished!
