Answer:

The rocket will take 4.5 seconds to reach its maximum height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a missile t seconds after it has been fired is given by h=-4.9*t²+44.1*t

This function is a quadratic function of the form f (x) = a*x² + b*x + c. In this case a=-4.9, b=44.1 and c=0

To calculate how many seconds it will take for the rocket to reach its maximum height, I must calculate the maximum of the function. The maximum of a quadratic function is the vertex of the parabola. The x coordinate of the vertex will be simply: x=\frac{-b}{2*a}. The y coordinate of the vertex corresponds to the function evaluated at that point.

In this case the x coordinate of the vertex corresponds to the t coordinate. In other words, by calculating the x coordinate of the vertex, you are calculating the maximum time t it will take for the rocket to reach its maximum height. So:

t=\frac{44.1}{2*(-4.9)}

t=4.5

<u><em>The rocket will take 4.5 seconds to reach its maximum height.</em></u>

4a+6b=10<br> 2a-4b=12<br><br> what does 12a =?
Usimov [2.4K]
If you have at least as many equations as your have unknown variables, the 'system' is solvable (unless the equations are copies of eachother).

In this case, isolate one letter and plug it in the other. I'm going for the 2a in the bottom one (it doesn't matter)

2a - 4b = 12 => (divide by two and move the b's to the other side)

a = 6 + 2b. (plug this one into the top equation)

4(6+2b) + 6b = 10 => 24+8b+6b = 10 => 24 + 14b = 10 => 14b = -14 => b=-1

a = 6 + -2 = 4.

So a=4 and b=-1.
