<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

Finger [1]

Answer: -8^{\circ}C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The temperature on Tuesday is 1^{\circ}C

Temperature drops to -2^{\circ}C on Wednesday

Net drop in temperature 1-(-2)=3^{\circ}C

The temperature drops twice from Wednesday to Thursday

\Delta T=2\times 3=6^{\circ}C

Temperature on Thursday

\Rightarrow -2-6=-8^{\circ}C

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Final\ Price = \$ 3299.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Original\ Price  =\$4299.00

Discount = \$900

Rebate = \$100

Required

Determine the final price

If all discounts are taken, the final price is:

Final\ Price = Original\ Price -  Discount -Rebate

This gives:

Final\ Price = \$ 4299.00 - \$900 - \$100

Final\ Price = \$ 3299.00
