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>

Original price: $? Discount: 20% Sale Price: $75​
Bad White [126]

Answer:

the answer is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

so you see that there's 20 percent right, you find what number u can add it by to get 100, so 80+20=100 so u do that and put it in a decimal form which is 0.8 and you multiply it by the price so 0.8 x 75= 60

You work forty hours a week at a furniture store. You receive a 1,200 dollar weekly salary, plus a 4.1% commision on sales over
Pachacha [2.7K]
If you call x the total value of the sales, the sale over 12,000 will be: g(x) = 12,000 - x.

And the commission is 4.1% of that = 0.041 * (12,000 - x) = 0.041 * g(x)

So, if  f(x) = 0.041x, to calculate the commission you first have to calculate g(x) = 12,000 - x, and the f(g(x))=0.041[12,000 - x].

Which leads you to the solution for the commission as [f o g] (x) = f (g(x)) = 0.041 (12,000 - x).

Answer: [ f o g] (x)

Hello i need help with question 5 asap!!

Answer:

  arc DB length = 14π feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming point A is the center of the circle, arc DC has measure 180°. Arc DB has measure 40° less, so is 140°. Since you want this in terms of π, we need to convert the degree measure to radians. We do that by multiplying by (π/180) radians per degree:

  arc DB = 140° = 140°(π/180°) radians

__

Now that we know the arc measure in radians, we can find the length of the arc. It is given by the formula ...

  s = rθ

where r represents the radius and θ is the measure of the arc in radians.

The arc length is ...

  s = (18 ft)(7π/9) = 14π ft

Arc DB has a length of 14π feet.

A rectangle has side lengths of 1 3/4 feet and 2 1/3 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle. Write your answer as a mixed num
katovenus [111]

Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangles have congruent opposite side lengths. This means that if one of its longer sides were 2 1/3 feet and one of its shorter sides were 1 3/4 feet then the other longer side would also be 2 1/3 feet and the other shorter side would be 1 3/4 feet.

Therefore to find the perimeter, you would take the given side lengths and multiply them each by 2 to account for both of the congruent sides.

  • 2(2 1/3) + 2(1 3/4) = perimeter of rectangle

To multiply these fractions they would have to be converted into improper fractions. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator---keeping the denominator the same in the converted form.

  • 2 1/3 ⇒ 7/3
  • 1 3/4 ⇒ 7/4

Now you can multiply these fractions by 2. Multiply the numerators by 2 and keep the denominator the same.

  • 2(7/3) + 2(7/4)
  • 14/3 + 14/4

To add them they should have common denominators so multiply 14/3 by 4/4 and 14/4 by 3/3.

  • 14/3 (4/4) = 56/12
  • 14/4 (3/3) = 42/12

Add 54/12 and 42/12 together by combining the numerators and keeping the denominators the same.

  • 54/12 + 42/12 = 96/12

You can simplify this improper fraction even more by dividing 96 by 12 since 12 is a factor of 96.

  • 96/12 = 8

The perimeter of the rectangle is 8 feet.
