Answer:

6.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that when h=0, this is the same height for both when the model rocket takes off and lands, so when the rocket lands, time is positive. Thus:

h=-4t^2+24t+13\\\\0=-4t^2+24t+13\\\\t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\ \\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{24^2-4(-4)(13)}}{2(-4)}\\ \\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{576+208}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{576+208}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm\sqrt{784}}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24\pm28}{-8}\\\\t=\frac{-24-28}{-8}\\ \\t=\frac{-52}{-8}\\ \\t=\frac{52}{8}\\\\t=6.5

So, the amount of seconds that the model rocket stayed above the ground since it left the platform is 6.5 seconds

First find where height is = 0 because once it dips below 0 then it will be below ground.
So 0 = -4t^2+24t+13
Find roots:
0=(2t-13)(2t+1)
t= -0.5 or 6.5 and cause we can’t have negative seconds
T= 6.5

= -<span>9x-12=35-x

Put like terms together:

= -9x + x = 35 + 12

= -8x = 47

= x = -47/8

= x = -5.875

In short, Your Answer would be: -5.875

Hope this helps!</span>

Charlotte's curtain company is making curtains for a local hotel. She wants each curtain to be 36 inches long. At the fabric sto
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

<em>159 feet of fabric</em>

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that 1 curtain is 36inches long

Since 1 foot = 12inches

x foot = 36inches

Cross multiply;

12 * x = 36

12x = 36

x = 36/12

x = 3

Hence 36inches is same as 3 feet

If Charlotte's curtain company wants to make 53 curtains, the length of 53 curtain is expressed as;

1 curtain = 3feet

53 curtain = y

y = 53 *3

<em>y = 159 feet</em>

<em>Hence she will need 159 feet of fabric</em>

<em> </em>
