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>

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easiest to compare the equations when they are written in the same form.

The first set can be written in slope-intercept form.

  y = 2x +7

  y = 2x +7 . . . . add 2x

These equations are <em>identical</em>, so have infinitely many solutions.

__

The second set can be written in standard form.

  y +4x = -5

  y +4x = -10

These equations <em>differ only in their constant</em>, so have no solutions.

__

The third set is already written in slope-intercept form. The equations have <em>different slopes</em>, so have exactly one solution.
