The equation for the height of the rocket at time t given

h= -16t^2+192t

We have to find the time t, when the rocket reaches 560 feet.

That means we have to find t when h = 560 ft. we will place 560 in the place of h to find t now.

h= -16t^2+192t

560 = -16t^2+192t

In the right side, we can check -16 is the common factor. So we will take out -16 from the rigbht side.

560 = -16(t^2 - 12t)

To get rid of -16 from the right side and move it to left side, we will divide both sides by -16.

560/-16 = -16(t^2-12t)/-16

-35 = t^2 -12t

Now we will move -35 to the righ side by adding 35 to both sides.

-35+35 = t^2-12t+35

0 = t^2 -12t+35

t^2-12t+35 = 0

We will factorize thee left side to find the values of t now. We need to find a pair of factors of 35 that by adding them we will get -12.

The pair of factors of 35 are -5 and -7 and by adding -5-7 we will get -12.

t^2-12t+35 =0

(t-5)(t-7) =0

So by using zero product property we will get

t-5 =0

t-5+5 = 0+5

t=5

Also t-7 =0

t-7+7 = 0+7

t=7

So we have got the rocket reaches at 560ft when t = 5 seconds and also when t = 7 seconds.

Now part b.

When the rocket completes its trajectory and hits the ground then the height or h = 0. So we will place h = 0 there in the equation.

h= -16t^2+192t

0= -16t^2 + 192 t

0 = -16(t^2-12t)

-16(t^2-12t) = 0

We will move -16 to the other side by dividing it to both sides.

-16(t^2-12t)/-16 = 0/-16

t^2-12t = 0

We will take out the common factor t from the left side. By taking out t we will get,

t(t-12) = 0

We will use zero product property now. By using that we will get,

t = 0

ans also t-12 = 0

t-12+12 = 0+12

t = 12

When the rocket completes its trajectory and hits the ground the time t can not be 0. When t =0, the rocket starts the trajectory.

So when the rocket completes its trajectory and hits the ground ,

then t = 12seconds.

So we have got the required answers.

Write a real-world problem that could be represented by the following inequality. 70 + 5x < 30 + 15x
kondaur [170]

Justin wants to paint his room. So he put together some quotations from two different painters. The first painter's total charge was based on the number of hours (denoted as x) worked was modeled as f( x ) = 70 + 5 x, while that of the second painter was g( x ) = 30 + 15 x. Justin knows that it will take more than 4 hours to decorate the house so he was certain to go with the first painter whose cost is low-priced when the number of hours is above 4 hours.

3x-5=-6x+13 : Given

3x=-6x+18 : Addition property of Equality

9x=18: Subtraction property of Equality

x=2: Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to give justification to each step

Step 1:

3x-5=-6x+13

This is the question given, which we need to solve and find value of x.

Justification: Given

Step 2:

Adding 5 on both sides of the equation using addition property of equality.

3x-5+5=-6x+13+5

Simplifying

3x=-6x+18

Justification: Addition property of Equality

Step 3:

Adding 6x on both sides of the equation

3x+6x=-6x+18+6x

9x=18

Justification: Subtraction property of Equality

Step 4:

Divide both sides of the equation by 9, to find the value of x using division property of equality

9x/9=18/9

x=2

Justification: Division Property of Equality
