Answer:

1)The rocket hit the ground at     x = \frac{5}{4}

2)The maximum height of the rocket = 12.468 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given equation  

                y = -2 x² + 5 x + 7 ...(i)

Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x' , we get

             \frac{dy}{dx} = -2( 2x) +5(1) =  -4x +5

Equating zero

            \frac{dy}{dx} = 0

⇒      -4 x +5 =0

⇒      -4 x = -5

⇒          x = \frac{5}{4}

<em> The rocket hit the ground at     </em>x = \frac{5}{4}<em></em>

<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-

    \frac{dy}{dx}  =  -4x +5  ...(ii)

Again differentiating equation (ii) with respective to 'x' , we get

 \frac{d^{2} y}{dx^{2} }  = - 4(1)

The maximum height at x = \frac{-5}{4}

  y = -2 x² + 5 x + 7

 y = -2 (\frac{5}{4})^{2}  + 5 (\frac{5}{4} )  + 7

y = \frac{-2(25)+ 25 (16)+7(64)}{64}

y = \frac{798}{64} = 12.468 feet

<em>The maximum height of the rocket = 12.468 feet</em>

You know of a relative who is addicted to pain killers. Due to his history, 2.3g of Tylenol per day is dangerous. He takes 200 m
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: So, your relative takes N tablets each 6 hours. a day has 24 hours, and 24/6 = 4, so he takes N tablets 4 times per day, so he takes 4*N tablets.

each tablet has 200mg, and 2.3 g (or 2300 mg) is toxic.

this means that 4*N*200mg must be less than 2300, if we are seeking for the maximum N possible, then:

4*N*200mg = 2300mg

4*N = 2300/200 = 11.5

N = 11.5/4 = 2.87

if you round up this number, you will end up taking more than 2.3g of tylenol per day, this implies that N must be equal to 2.

So your relative needs to take maximum 2 tablets per day.

Answer:   1. ∠A= 80.75°  2. 41.79 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the sines low,

\frac{sin A}{CB} = \frac{sin C}{AB}

Here, CB= 4.1 cm,  AB = 3.3 and ∠ C = 52.6°

\frac{sin A}{4.1} = \frac{sin 52.6}{3.3}

⇒ sin A = 4.1\times\frac{sin 52.6}{3.3}

⇒  sin A =0.98699998308

⇒ A = 80.75°

2. Since, the area of the given figure = Area of the rectangle having dimension 8.3 × 4.2 + Area of the half square of radius 2.1

=34.86 + 6.93

= 41.79 square cm
