Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
g/2-9=-7
inverse operation:
g/2-9=-7
+9 +9
g/2=2
g/2=2*2
g = 4
Remember that c is the initial height. Since we the rocket is in a 99-foot cliff, c=99. Also, we know that the velocity of the rocket is 122 ft/s; therefore v=122
Lets replace the values into the the vertical motion formula to get:

Notice that the rocket hits the ground at the bottom of the cliff, which means that the final height is 99-foot bellow its original position; therefore, our final height will be h=-99
Lets replace this into our equation to get:


Now we can apply the quadratic formula

where a=-16, b=122, and c=198


or


or


or

Since the time can't be negative, we can conclude that the rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds.
To set the equation,we can first find how much price would be raised within a year:
=500×(1+7%)
=500×1.07
As the years go by the increase would accumulate,and the equation would be:
