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)

What is the simple interest on $360 borrowed for 30 months at 12.3%?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

$110.70

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>I=PRT</em>

P (principal)=360

R(rate)=12.3%

T(time)=30 months (2 and half years)

I=360*12.3%*2.5

=$110.70

Just to note 12.3% is also 0.123 we sometimes change it into a decimal.

What does x equal? 2x-8=2x+6+x
Charra [1.4K]
2x-8=2x+6+x    first put all the like terms together
2x-8=3x+6        subtract 2s from both sides
-8=x+6               subtract 6 from both sides
-14=x                  then it is your final answer! 

Hope this helps! Please give me the brainliest answer if you like it! If you have further questions, please leave a comment or add me as a friend!

Identify sinJ as a fraction and as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.
KiRa [710]

In the given right triangle, the trigonometric ratio, <u>sin J</u> has a fractional value of <u>5/13</u> and a decimal value of <u>0.39</u>.

In trigonometry, for a right triangle, the <u>sine</u> (sin) of any angle θ is given as the ratio of its opposite side to the hypotenuse of the triangle, that is, sin θ = (opposite side)/(hypotenuse).

In the question, we are asked to find the trigonometric ratio, sin J, for the given right triangle JKL.

The side opposite to angle J is KL, which has a value of 3 units.

The hypotenuse of the given right triangle is JK, which has a value of 7.8 units.

Thus, sin J can be calculated as:

sin J = KL/JK = 3/7.8 = 5/13 = 0.39.

Thus, in the given right triangle, the trigonometric ratio, <u>sin J</u> has a fractional value of <u>5/13</u> and a decimal value of <u>0.39</u>.
