The endpoints of CD are C(–8, 4) and D(6, –6). What are the coordinates of point P on CD such that P is the length of the line s

If you graph the end points C and D then graph the 4 points at the end it is difficult to tell which points are on CD without a line.  
Using the endpoints find the slope (change in y/ change in x) then substitute a point in to find the intercept.  
Slope = (-6-4)/(6- -8) = -5/7
Intercept equation (-6) = -5/7 (6) + b
b = -1.71428571429
Graphing the line shows only 2 points on the line (–2.75, 0.25) and <span>(0.75, –2.25)
I am confused by the part, "</span><span>P is the length of the line segment from D".  Were you given a length P to help you determine which point.  Using the distance formula to find the length from each point to D doesn't help determine which one is best with the information you have given.  The image shows the distances I calculated and the graphed points. 
I hope this helps!</span>

A rocket is launched from a tower what time will the rocket reach its max
Lena [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A science class designed a ball launcher and tested it by shooting a tennis ball up and off the top of a 15-story building. They determined that the motion of the ball could be described by the function: h(t) = -16t2 + 144t + 160, where ‘t’ represents the time the ball is in the air in seconds and h(t) represents the height, in feet, of the ball above the ground at time t.

a) Graph the function h(t) = -16t2 + 144t + 160 (see below)

      b) What is the height of the building?

The height of the building is also the height of the tennis ball before it is launched into the air. This occurs when t=0 so substitute 0 for t and you get:

H(0) = -16(0)2 + 144(0) + 160

The height of the building is 160 feet.

 c) At what time did the ball hit the ground?

The ball hits the ground when the height is 0. Therefore, we are looking for a solution to: -16t2 + 144t + 160 = 0

Use the quadratic formula or put this into a calculator. The solution is t=10 and -1, but only 10 makes sense. Therefore, the ball hits the ground at 10 seconds.

  d) At what time did the ball reach its maximum height?

You can put this into the calculator or you can realize that the maximum height is also

− the vertex. The x-value (‘t’ in this case) is 2

−144

which is (2)(−16) = 4.5.

Therefore, the ball reached its maximum height at 4.5 seconds.

   e) What is the maximum height of the ball?

We calculated the time of the maximum height (4.5 seconds). Therefore, substitute 4.5 into the function to find the maximum height.

-16(4.5)2 + 144(4.5) + 160

The maximum height is 484 feet.
