Sally launches a rocket off of a platform. The height of the rocket, in meters, can be modeled by the function, h(x) = -5(x - 3)

2 + 56, where x is in seconds. o What is the height of the platform? o What is the maximum height the rocket reaches? o How long does it take to reach this height?

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>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since you are learning about similar triangles... i'd guess that some where of the picture.. there is some words that say, that the two smaller triangles are the same, similar , congruent.. so that we can just add up angles 1 + 2 or

13 + 13 = 26 °

Find the perimeter of WXYZ. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

C. 15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of WXYZ = WX + XY + YZ + ZW

Use the distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ to calculate the length of each segment.

✔️Distance between W(-1, 1) and X(1, 2):

Let,

$W(-1, 1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$X(1, 2) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$WX = \sqrt{(1 - (-1))^2 + (2 - 1)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (1)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{4 + 1}$

$WX = \sqrt{5}$

$WX = 2.24$

✔️Distance between X(1, 2) and Y(2, -4)

Let,

$X(1, 2) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Y(2, -4) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$XY = \sqrt{(2 - 1)^2 + (-4 - 2)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (-6)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{1 + 36}$

$XY = \sqrt{37}$

$XY = 6.08$

✔️Distance between Y(2, -4) and Z(-2, -1)

Let,

$Y(2, -4) = (x_1, y_1)$

$Z(-2, -1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$YZ = \sqrt{(-2 - 2)^2 + (-1 -(-4))^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (3)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{16 + 9}$

$YZ = \sqrt{25}$

$YZ = 5$

✔️Distance between Z(-2, -1) and W(-1, 1)

Let,

$Z(-2, -1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$W(-1, 1) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values

$ZW = \sqrt{(-1 -(-2))^2 + (1 - (-1))^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (2)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{1 + 4}$

$ZW = \sqrt{5}$

$ZW = 2.24$

✅Perimeter = 2.24 + 6.08 + 5 + 2.24 = 15.56

≈ 15.6
