Answer:

The Maximum Height reached by the rocket is 456.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the maximum height reached by the rocket we would have to calculate first the derivative of y=-16x^2+147x+118 as follows:

derivative of y=-16x^2+147x+118=y'=dy/dx=d/dx(-16x^2+147x+118)

y'=-32x+147

Therefore, x=147/32

x=4.59375

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the rocket=-16*4.59375^2 + 147*4.59375 + 118

The maximum height reached by the rocket=456.1

The Maximum Height reached by the rocket is 456.1 feet

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
Following that kind of form becomes
2y = -8x + 1
y =(-8x + 1)/2
y = -4x + 1/2

Begin by factoring 2 out of   2x^2 - 2x - 12 equals 0:

2(x^2 - x - 6) = 0

2(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0.  2 is never zero, but x-3 and x+2 can each be set = to 0:

This results in x = 3 and x = -2.  The equation is true for these two x-values.
