Suppose a toy rocket is launched vertically upward from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second. i

f air resistance is ignored, the rocket's h height after t seconds is given by the equation h = −16t2 +128t + 100. How long will the rocket's flight last? (to the nearest tenth of a second) A) 7.6 seconds B) 7.9 seconds C) 8.7 seconds D) 9.3 seconds

Answer:

Option C)

t = 8.7 s

Step-by-step explanation:

To quickly solve this problem, we can use a graphing tool or a calculator to plot the equation.

Please see the attached image below, to find more information about the graph

The projectile formula is

h(t) = a*t^2 + v*t + h0

Where,

v = initial vertical velocity of the rocket in feet per second

h0 = initial height of the rocket in feet

h(t) = −16t^2 +128t + 100

If we look at the graph, we can find the point in which the height becomes zero. The value for t at this point will represent the rocket's fight duration

For this problem,

t = 8.717 s

Ms. Kincaid keeps a supply of dimes and quarters in her car to pay for highway tolls. A week’s supply of toll coins contains 5 m
Alecsey [184]

Answer: (A) 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

                <u>Value</u>       <u>Quantity</u>     =  <u>TOTAL Value</u>

dimes:        .10            Q + 5        =    .10(Q = 5)

quarters:    .25               Q           =      .25Q


Dimes + Quarters = $4.00

.10(Q + 5) + .25Q = 4.00

.10Q + .50 + .25Q = 4.00

           .50 + .35Q = 4.00

                    .35Q = 3.50

                          Q = 10

Quarters = 10

Dimes = Q + 5

           = 10 + 5

           = 15
