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>

Answer:

the answer would be x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

the lines the have 1 line across it equal the same. same for the ones with 2. for example AB has one line across so it also equals CD because it has one line across (in the little octagonal shape). BC has two lines and so does AH so BC=AH

Given that f(x) = 4x√3x + 3 and g(x) = 2√x+1, find (f/g)(x)
Tresset [83]

Answer:

2x\sqrt{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{4x\sqrt{3x+3}}{2\sqrt{x+1}}=\frac{2*2*x*\sqrt{3}*\sqrt{x+1}}{2*\sqrt{x+1}}=2x\sqrt{3}.
