<h3>Answer:  Max height = 455.6 feet</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

The general equation

y = ax^2 + bx + c

has the vertex (h,k) such that

h = -b/(2a)

In this case, a = -16 and b = 147. This means,

h = -b/(2a)

h = -147/(2*(-16))

h = 4.59375

The x coordinate of the vertex is x = 4.59375

Plug this into the original equation to find the y coordinate of the vertex.

y = -16x^2+147x+118

y = -16(4.59375)^2+147(4.59375)+118

y = 455.640625

The vertex is located at (h,k) = (4.59375, 455.640625)

The max height of the rocket occurs at the vertex point. Therefore, the max height is y = 455.640625 feet which rounds to y = 455.6 feet

$45-$3 
you would do this to take out the processing fee.
$42/ $6
this is because each shirt cost $6
the equation would be (45-3) / 6= 7]

Given that the diameter of Circle A is 6 cm , and the radius of Circle B is 18 cm , what can be concluded about the two circles?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The radius of circle B is 6 times greater than the radius of circle A

The area of circle B is 36 times greater than the area of circle A

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

<em>Circle A</em>

D=6\ cm

The radius of circle A is

r=6/2=3\ cm -----> the radius is half the diameter

<em>Circle B</em>

r=18\ cm

Compare the radius of both circles

3\ cm< 18\ cm

18=6(3)

The radius of circle B is six times greater than the radius of circle A

Remember that , if two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

All circles are similar

In this problem the scale factor is 6

so

6^{2}=36

therefore

The area of circle B is 36 times greater than the area of circle A
