Answer:
Step 2 is wrong.
It should be 3x – <u>18</u> + 4x + 12 – 6x
Explanation:
3(x – 6) + (4x + 12) – 6x →
3x – 18 + 4x + 12 – 6x →
(3x + 4x – 6x) + (-18 + 12) →
x – 6
The given function is

According to this function, the starting height of the rocket is 20 feet because that's the initial condition of the problem stated by the independent term.
Additionally, we find the maximum height by calculating the vertex of the function V(h,k).

Where a = -16 and b = 300.

Then, we find k by evaluating the function

Hence, the maximum height is 1426.25 feet.
At last, to know the time need to hit the ground, we just use h=9.375 and we multiply it by 2

Hence, the rocket hits the ground after 18.75 seconds.
Answer:
<u>B. 2</u>
To find MAD, find the mean of the set, then find how far each number is from the mean. Next, find the mean of THAT set of numbers. Yea, I know it's a bit confusing... don't worry!
Find the mean of the set:
12 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 12
72
72 / 8
<u>9</u>
Find how far each number is from 9:
12 - 9 = <u>3</u>
10 - 9 = <u>1</u>
10 - 9 = <u>1</u>
9 - 8 = <u>1</u>
9 - 6 = <u>3</u>
9 - 7 = <u>2</u>
9 - 7 = <u>2</u>
12 - 9 = <u>3</u>
Find the mean of that number set:
{3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3}
3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 3
16
16 / 8
<u>2</u>
<u>So the answer is 2!</u>
Not so hard after all :D
The permimiter of a is 18 and the area is 9
