Answer:
x= 0 , ,
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, equation is +
=
. →→→ (1)
Now, by cubing the equation on both sides, we get
( +
)³ = (
)³
⇒ (15x-1) + (13x+1) + 3××
(
+
) = 64 x.
⇒ 28x + 3××
(
) = 64x.
(since from (1), +
=
)
⇒ 12× ×
(
)= 36x.
⇒ 3x = .
Now, once again cubing on both sides, we get
(3x)³ = ()³.
⇒ 27x³ = (15x-1)(13x+1)(x).
⇒ 27x³ = 195x³ + 2x² - x
⇒ 168x³ + 2x² - x = 0
⇒ x(168x² + 2x -1) = 0
⇒ by, solving the equation we get ,
x = 0 ; x = ; x =
therefore, solution is x= 0 , ,

Answer:
- 320 m after 8 seconds
- 5.6 seconds, 10.4 seconds to height of 290 m
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the height at 8 seconds, evaluate the formula for t=8.
S(t) = -5t^2 +80t
S(8) = -5(8^2) +80(8) = -320 +640 = 320
The height of the rocket is 320 meters 8 seconds after takeoff.
__
To find the time to 290 meters height, solve ...
S(t) = 290
290 = -5t^2 +80t
-58 = t^2 -16t . . . . . . . divide by -5
6 = t^2 -16t +64 . . . . . complete the square by adding 64
±√6 = t -8 . . . . . . . . . take the square root
t = 8 ±√6 ≈ {5.551, 10.449}
The rocket is at 290 meters height after 5.6 seconds and again after 10.4 seconds.
