A model rocket fired from the ground at time t can be modeled by the equation h= -490t² + 1120t. When is the height of the model
rocket 640 centimeters?
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
t = 1 1/7 ≈ 1.1429 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Filling in the given height, we can solve for t:
640 = -490t^2 +1120t
49t^2 -112t +64 = 0 . . . . . divide by 10, put in standard form
(7t -8)^2 = 0
t = 8/7 . . . . . . . the value of t that makes the factor(s) zero
The model rocket will reach its maximum height of 640 cm after 1 1/7 seconds.

The expressions for the width, W, and area, A, of the rectangle in terms of L are:
- W =
- L
- A =
The expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is given as:
P = 2(L + W)
where L is its length and W its width
a. Given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 13 feet, then;
13 = 2(L + W)
divide through by 2
= L + W
So that;
W = - L
The required formula for the width as a function of L is: W = - L
b. Area of a rectangle can be expressed as;
A = L * W
substitute the expression for width in that of area to have
A = L * ( - L)
= L -
A =
The expression for the area A is: A =
