Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is a parabola:

h(t) = -16t²+64t+80

A. The rocket hits the ground in 2 seconds means that at the time  t = 2 the height is h(2) = 0 since is on the ground.  

h(2) = -16(2)²+64(2)+80

h(2) = -64 +128 +80

h(2) = 144 ≠ h(2) = 0 so A is FALSE

B. The maximum height of the rocket is 80 feet.

We have just seen that after 2 seconds the height was 144 feet so 80 feet cannot be maximum.

144 > 80 so 80 is not maximum height so B is FALSE

C. The maximum height of the rocket is 144 feet.

The maximum point is at point (2,144) so the maximum height 144 feet is reached after 2 seconds( see the graph.) C is TRUE

D. The rocket reaches its maximum height in 5 seconds.

This cannot be true since we established that C is true and a quadratic equation has only one min or max. D is FALSE

Option to calculate the max value algebraically:

h(t) = -16t²+64t+80

the x -coordinate is calculated as : -b/2a = -64/ 2(-16) = 2

the y-coordinate is calculated as: h(-b/2a) = h(2) = 144

point of maximum value ( 2, 144)

Marcello sells coupon books to his neighbors

4 neighbors each buy 2 coupon books

Each book have 8 coupons

Therefore the total number of coupons that all neighbors will get can be calculated as follows

Each neighbor will get 16 coupon

Hence the whole neighbors will get

16×4

= 64 coupons

Diego was trying to write (5^2)^4 with a single exponent and wrote (5^2)^4=5^2+^4=5^6. What should the answer be? Explain Diego'
o-na [289]

Answer:

5^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Diego added the exponents. This was an error. If he was simplifying

5^2 × 5^4, then he could add the exponents and get a correct answer. But his problem had a power raised to a power. In this case, you multiply the exponents to simplify.

(5^2)^4 means

5^2×5^2×5^2×5^2

which is

5×5×5×5×5×5×5×5

which is 5^8.

Find the value of x if h(x) = -25 in the function h(X) = 1/5x + 10
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

x = -175

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

h(x) = -25

h(x) = 1/5x + 10

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

-25 = 1/5x + 10

-35 = 1/5x

x = -175

3y-6 divided by 9 = 4-2 divided by -3
sweet [91]

Answer:

y = 16/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming "y" is a variable

3y - 6/9 = 4 - 2/-3

3y - 2/3 =14/3

3y - 16/3 = 0

1/3 (9y - 2) = 14/3

ANSWER = y : 16/9

professor190 [17]

Answer: an equation that represents the total costs of the gym membership based on the number of months is

y = 25x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of months that Frank makes use of the gym at LA fitness in order to get better in shape.

Let y represent the total cost of using the gym for x months.

He has to pay a one-time enrollment fee of $50 and then membership costs $25 per month. This means that the total cist for x month would be

y = 25x + 50
