A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th

e given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.

Answer:

The rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rocket, after x seconds, is given by the following equation:

y = -16x^2 + 177x + 98

It hits the ground when y = 0, so we have to find x for which y = 0, which is a quadratic equation.

Finding the roots of a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

y = -16x^2 + 177x + 98

-16x^2 + 177x + 98 = 0

So

a = -16, b = 177, c = 98

\bigtriangleup = 177^{2} - 4(-16)(98) = 37601

x_{1} = \frac{-177 + \sqrt{37601}}{2*(-16)} = -0.53

x_{2} = \frac{-177 - \sqrt{37601}}{2*(-16)} = 11.59

Since time is a positive measure, the rocket hits the ground at a time of 11.59 seconds.

For the data set: 22, 40, 21, 18, 47, 22, 19, what is the mode?
SashulF [63]
Hello!

Mode : \fbox{it is the frequently occurIng value in the given set of observation}

Given observations are :-

22,40,21,18,47,22,19

Now , mode = \fbox{22}

The answer is 22 as it appears two times in the given set of observations.

Hope this is clear :)
Have a good day:)

A) The y-intercept of the line with the largest slope
lord [1]

Answer:

a) the largest y-intercept is 1

b) 13.5

c) y=x-3

d) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

the question was worded very strangely and I will answer the way I precieved it.

for question d, I simply considered the question to be asking what is X when y is 17 and since the equation of that line is 2x-1
