Answer:

Time = 3secs

Max height = 56m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height reached by the rocket modeled by the equation;

h(x) = -5(x - 3)² + 56 where;

x is in seconds

The rocket velocity at its maximum height is zero.

Hence dh/dx = 0

dh/dx = 2(-5)(x-3)

dh/dx = -10(x-3)

Since dh/dx = 0

0 = -10(x-3)

0 = -10x + 30

10x = 30

x = 3secs

<em>Hence it takes 3 secs to reach the maximum height.</em>

Get the maximum height reached by the rocket. Substitute x = 3 into the equation given;

Recall that:

h(x) = -5(x - 3)² + 56

If x  = 3

h(3) = -5(3 - 3)² + 56

h(3) = 0 + 56

h(3) = 56

<em>Hence the maximum height that the rocket reaches is 56m</em>

The set of ordered pairs below represents a function.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Given:

The set of ordered pairs below represents a function.

{(–9, 1), (–5, 2), (0, 7), (1, 3), (6, –10)}

Josiah claims that the ordered pair (6, –10) can be replaced with any ordered pair and the set will still represent a function.

To find:

All the ordered pairs that could be used to show that this claim is incorrect.

Solution:

We need to find the ordered pairs that can be replaced with (6,-10) and for which the set is not a function.

A relation is called function if there exist a unique output for each input.

If (-9,-6) is replaces with (6,-10), then the set has two outputs y=1 and y=-6 for x=-9. So, the claim is incorrect.

If (1,12) is replaces with (6,-10), then the set has two outputs y=12 and y=3 for x=1. So, the claim is incorrect.

If (-10,-10) is replaces with (6,-10), then there exist unique output for each input. So, the claim is correct.

If (4,7) is replaces with (6,-10), then there exist unique output for each input. So, the claim is correct.

If (-5,1) is replaces with (6,-10), then the set has two outputs y=1 and y=2 for x=-5. So, the claim is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct options are (a), (b) and (e).

WILL MRK BRAINLIEST... NEED CORRECT ANSWER..
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

y= 2/3x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is 1   It crosses the y axis at 1.  So the point is (0,1)

Another point on the line is (3,3)

We can calculate the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  = (3-1)/(3-0)

   =2/3

The equation for a line is y=mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y= 2/3x +1

tamaranim1 [39]
625/1000= 0.625

100/625= 0.16

5/8= 0.625

125/200= 0.625

20/125= 0.16
