a group of astronauts launched a model rocket from a platform. Its flight path is modeled by h= -4t^2+24t+13 where h is the heig

ht of the rocket above the ground in meters, and t is the time after the launch in seconds. How many seconds did the model rocket stay above the ground since it left the platform

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

Simplify 7^-5/6*7^-7/6
DochEvi [55]

So the rule with multiplying exponents of the same base is x^m*x^n=x^{m+n} . Apply this rule here:

7^{-\frac{5}{6}}*7^{-\frac{7}{6}}=7^{-\frac{5}{6}+{-\frac{7}{6}}}=7^{-\frac{12}{6}}=7^{-2}

Next, the rule with converting negative exponents into positive ones is x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m} . Apply this rule here:

7^{-2}=\frac{1}{7^2}=\frac{1}{49}

<u>Your final answer is 1/49.</u>

<h2>------------------------------------------------</h2>

So an additional rule when it comes to exponents is x^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{x^m}

In this case, your fractional exponent, x^9/7, would be converted to \sqrt[7]{x^9} . However, I had just realized you can further expand this.

Remember the rule I had mentioned earlier about multiplying exponents of the same base? Well, you can apply it here:

\sqrt[7]{x^9}=\sqrt[7]{x^7*x^2}=x\sqrt[7]{x^2}

Your final answer would be x\sqrt[7]{x^2}

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

2.1 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 hr, Phillip would have proofed 1/7 of the chapter. In 1 hr, Kim would have proofed 1/3 of the chapter. So, together in 1 hr, they would have proofed 10/21 of the chapter. So, it would take 21/10 or 2.1 hrs to proof the whole chapter together.
