Answer:

a) 72.25sec

b) 6.25secs

c) after 10.5secs and 2 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height reached by the rocket expressed as;

s(t)= -4t^2 + 50t - 84

At maximum height, the velocity of the rocket is zero i.e ds/dt  = 0

ds/dt = -8t + 50

0 = -8t + 50

8t = 50

t = 50/8

t = 6.25secs

Hence it will reach the maximum height after 6.25secs

To get the maximum height, you will substitute t - 6.25s into the given expression

s(t)= -4t^2 + 50t - 84

s(6.25) = -4(6.25)^2 + 50(6.25) - 84

s(6.25) = -156.25 + 312.5 - 84

s(6.25)  = 72.25feet

Hence the maximum height reached by the rocket is 72.25feet

The rocket will reach the ground when s(t) = 0

Substitute into the expression

s(t)= -4t^2 + 50t - 84

0 = -4t^2 + 50t - 84

4t^2 - 50t + 84 = 0

2t^2 - 25t + 42 = 0

2t^2 - 4t - 21t + 42 = 0

2t(t-2)-21(t-2) = 0

(2t - 21) (t - 2) = 0

2t - 21 = 0 and t - 2 = 0

2t = 21 and t = 2

t = 10.5 and 2

Hence the time the rocket will reach the ground are after 10.5secs and 2 secs

Determine the equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1)
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The required equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1) will be:

  • y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1

The graph is also attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates (4, -1)

If we put the coordinate values (4, -1) in the given equations, we determine that only y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1 is the valid equation as it satisfies the given coordinate value.

For example, putting  (4, -1) in the equation

y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1

\left(-1\right)=\left(4-4\right)^2-1

-1=\left(0\right)^2-1

-1=0-1

-1=-1

So, the equation y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1 is true for the coordinate values (4, -1).

Therefore, the required equation of the graph with the coordinates of (4, -1) will be:

  • y=\left(x-4\right)^2-1

Please check, the graph is also attached.

Find the areas of the sectors formed by ABC
Amanda [17]

Answer:

33.51 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the circle:

A = πr^2

A = π * 8^2

A = 64π = 201.06 in^2

Find the area of the 60 deg slice:

A * 60/360 = 33.51 in^2
