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>

Factor. 2v^2-11v-63
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

  (2v +7)(v -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 2·(-63) = -126 that have a sum of -11 are 7 and -18, so we can rewrite the middle term to -18v+7v. Then we can factor by grouping.

  2v^2 -18v +7v -63 = 2v(v -9) +7(v -9)

  = (2v +7)(v -9)

What is the difference between rates and proportions???
frez [133]
A rate often involves time:  e. g., 33 feet per second; also, we are finding the ratio of one type of measurement with respect to another:  distance and time.

A proportion is often the ratio of different measures of the same thing:

e. g.   5 apples
          ------------
           7 apples

7500 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 7.75%. To the nearest year, how long will it take for the a
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

It will take 55 years for the account value to reach 38200 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P.

In this problem, we ahve that:

T = 38200, P = 7500, I = 0.075

So

First we find how much we have to earn in interest.

38200 = E + 7500.

E = 38200 - 7500

E = 30700

How much time to earn this interest?

E = P*I*t

30700 = 7500*0.075*t

t = \frac{30700}{7500*0.075}

t = 54.6

Rounding up

It will take 55 years for the account value to reach 38200 dollars
