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:

A = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, we can factor out the expression $(\frac{1}{7} )^x$ . If we do so, the expression becomes:

$(\frac{1}{7})^x((\frac{1}{7})^{-2} - 1)$

We can simplify to get:

$(\frac{1}{7} )^x(49 - 1)$

and get:

$48*(\frac{1}{7})^x$

Therefore, A = 48

Answer:

1

$A_1 = 67.58 \ in^2$

2

$A_2 =415.4 \ ft^2$

3

$A_3 = 8.48 \ cm^2$

4

$A_4 = 480.38 \ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the area of a sector is mathematically represented as

$A = \frac{\theta}{360} * \pi r^2$

Now at $r_1 = 11 in$ and $\theta_1 = 64^o$

$A_1 = \frac{64}{360} * 3.142 * 11^2$

$A_1 = 67.58 \ in^2$

Now at $r_2 = 20 ft$ in and $\theta_2 = 119 ^o$

$A_2 = \frac{119}{360} * 3.142 * 20^2$

$A_2 =415.4 \ ft^2$

Now at $r_3 = 6.5 cm$ and $\theta_3 = 23 ^o$

$A_3 = \frac{23}{360} * 3.142 * 6.5 ^2$

$A_3 = 8.48 \ cm^2$

Now at $r_4 = 14.2 m$ and $\theta_4 = 360 -87 = 273 ^o$

$A_4 = \frac{273}{360} * 3.142 * 14.2^2$

$A_4 = 480.38 \ m^2$
