Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to use the law of indices for finding the equivalent expression.
We square 8, which is 64 and multiply the two powers.
We multiply the 2 powers giving us,
, which simplifies to 2.
×
=
This is the answer as we multiply the two indices together.
I hope this helps!! ^-^
Answer:
Rocket B reaches a maximum height that is greater than the maximum height of Rocket A.
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph quickly shows the answer to this question.
__
In vertex form, the equation for Rocket A is ...
y = -6(x² -16x +8²) +6(8²)
y = -6(x -8)² +384 . . . . . . . . . maximum height is 384 feet
__
The corresponding equation for Rocket B is ...
y = -4(x² -20x +10²) +4(10²)
y = -4(x -10)² +400 . . . . . . . . maximum height is 400 feet
Rocket B reaches a maximum height greater than that of Rocket A.
