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>

Suppose your​ friend's parents invest 15,000 in an account paying 7% compounded annually. What will the balance be after 5 ​year
meriva

Answer:

FV= $21,038.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment (PV)= $15,000

Interest rate (i)= 7% compounded annually

Number of periods (n)= 5

<u>To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:</u>

FV= PV*(1 + i)^n

FV= 15,000*(1.07^5)

FV= $21,038.28

The accompanying data contains the depth​ (in kilometers) and​ magnitude, measured using the Richter​ Scale, of all earthquakes
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Depth:

μ =20.2025 km

M = 15.625 km

Range = 47.15 km

σ ≈ 15.92 km

Q₁ = 5.7375 km

Q₃ =  34.6675 km

Magnitude:

μ = 2.08375

M = 1.465

Range, R = 5.17

σ = 1.801485 ≈ 1.8

Q₁ = 0.5625

Q₃ = 3.925

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data are;

Depth {}                                 Magnitude

0.76 {}                                    0.84

4.93 {}                                    0.47

8.16 {}                                     0.35

33.58 {}                                  1.32

21.2 {}                                     1.61

35.03 {}                                  4.57

10.05 {}                                   5.52

47.91 {}                                    1.99

For the Depth, we have;

The mean, μ = (0.76+4.93+8.16+33.58+21.2+35.03+10.05+47.91)/8 =20.2025 km

The median, M = The (n + 1)/2th term after arranging the term in increasing order as follows;

0.76, 4.93, 8.16, 10.05, 21.2, 33.58, 35.03, 47.91 , the median is therefore;

(8 + 1)/2th term or the 4.5th term which is 10.05 + (21.2 - 10.05)/2 = 15.625 km

The Range = The highest - The lowest value = 47.91 - 0.76 = 47.15 km

The Standard deviation of, σ, is given as follows;

\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-\mu  \right )^{2} }{N}}

Where;

x_i = The individual data point = (0.76, 4.93, 8.16, 10.05, 21.2, 33.58, 35.03, 47.91 )

N = The total number of data point = 8

Substituting, (using Microsoft Excel) we get;

\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-20.2025  \right )^{2} }{8}} \approx 15.92 \ km

Q₁ = The first quartile = The (n + 1)/4th =  term arranged in increasing order

Q₁ = The (8 + 1)/4th term = The 2.25th term = 4.93 + (8.16 - 4.93)×0.25) = 5.7375 km

Q₃ = The first quartile = The 3×(n + 1)/4th =  term arranged in increasing order

Q₃ = The 3×(8 + 1)/4th term = The 6.75th term = 33.58 + 3×(35.03 - 33.58)×0.25) = 34.6675 km

For the magnitude, we have, using the same formulas and procedures as above;

μ = 2.08375

M = 1.465

Range, R = 5.17

σ = 1.801485 ≈ 1.8

Q₁ = 0.5625

Q₃ = 3.925
