The sale price S (in dollars) of an item is given by the formula
S=L−rL , where L is the list price (in dollars) and r is the discount rate.
Since, S = L -rL
rL = L -S
r =
r =
Since, the listed price of the shirt is $30, we have to find the discount rate.
Therefore, r = is the discount rate.
The given function is
According to this function, the starting height of the rocket is 20 feet because that's the initial condition of the problem stated by the independent term.
Additionally, we find the maximum height by calculating the vertex of the function V(h,k).
Where a = -16 and b = 300.
Then, we find k by evaluating the function
Hence, the maximum height is 1426.25 feet.
At last, to know the time need to hit the ground, we just use h=9.375 and we multiply it by 2
Hence, the rocket hits the ground after 18.75 seconds.
