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

If sinA+cosecA=3 find the value of sin2A+cosec2A​
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

\sin 2A + \csc 2A = 2.122

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(A) = \sin A + \csc A, we proceed to transform the expression into an equivalent form of sines and cosines by means of the following trigonometrical identity:

\csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A} (1)

\sin^{2}A +\cos^{2}A = 1 (2)

Now we perform the operations: f(A) = 3

\sin A + \csc A = 3

\sin A + \frac{1}{\sin A} = 3

\sin ^{2}A + 1 = 3\cdot \sin A

\sin^{2}A -3\cdot \sin A +1 = 0 (3)

By the quadratic formula, we find the following solutions:

\sin A_{1} \approx 2.618 and \sin A_{2} \approx 0.382

Since sine is a bounded function between -1 and 1, the only solution that is mathematically reasonable is:

\sin A \approx 0.382

By means of inverse trigonometrical function, we get the value associate of the function in sexagesimal degrees:

A \approx 22.457^{\circ}

Then, the values of the cosine associated with that angle is:

\cos A \approx 0.924

Now, we have that f(A) = \sin 2A +\csc2A, we proceed to transform the expression into an equivalent form with sines and cosines. The following trignometrical identities are used:

\sin 2A = 2\cdot \sin A\cdot \cos A (4)

\csc 2A = \frac{1}{\sin 2A} (5)

f(A) = \sin 2A + \csc 2A

f(A) = \sin 2A +  \frac{1}{\sin 2A}

f(A) = \frac{\sin^{2} 2A+1}{\sin 2A}

f(A) = \frac{4\cdot \sin^{2}A\cdot \cos^{2}A+1}{2\cdot \sin A \cdot \cos A}

If we know that \sin A \approx 0.382 and \cos A \approx 0.924, then the value of the function is:

f(A) = \frac{4\cdot (0.382)^{2}\cdot (0.924)^{2}+1}{2\cdot (0.382)\cdot (0.924)}

f(A) = 2.122
