Answer:

The maximum height of the rocket is 256 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of the quadratic function f(x) = ax² + bx + c is

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k, where

  • (h, k) is the vertex point
  • h = \frac{-b}{2a} and k = f(h)
  • (h, k) is a minimum point if a > 0 and a maximum point if a < 0

Let us use these rules to solve the question

∵ h(t) = -16t² + 128t

→ Compare it by the form of the quadratic function above

∴ a = -16 and b = 128

∵ a < 0

∴ The vertex (h, k) is a maximum point

∴ The maximum height of the rocket is the value of k

→ Use the rule of h above to find it

∵ h = \frac{-128}{2(-16)} = \frac{-128}{-32}

∴ h = 4

→ Substitute x in the equation by the value of h to find k

∵ k = h(h)

∴ k = -16(4)² + 128(4)

∴ k = -256 + 512

∴ K = 256

∴ The maximum height of the rocket is 256 feet

(picture) Factoring Polynomials: GCF PLEASEE HELP!!!!!<br> a<br> b<br> c<br> d
kramer

For this case we must find the greatest common factor of both expressions, the GFC will be the greatest number that is a factor of both numbers, that is:

The number 4 is the greatest number that divides 32 and 12 resulting in a whole number.

\frac {32} {4} = 8\\\frac {12} {4} = 3

In addition, both expressions have as a common factor,a ^ 2:

4a ^ 2 (8a + 3)

Thus,32a ^ 3 + 12a ^ 2 = 4a ^ 2 (8a + 3)

Answer:

4a ^ 2 (8a + 3)

Option A
