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

Identify the equivalent expression for (m^1/3 m^1/5)^0
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The thing is, x^0 is always 1. So even if you simplify, it will still be 1.

(m^\frac{1}{3}*m^\frac{1}{5})^0\\(m^\frac{8}{15})^0\\\text{But when put to the power of 0,}\\1.
