A rocket was launched into the air from a podium 6 feet off the ground. The rocket path is represented by the equation h(t)=-16t

^2+120t+6, where h(t) represents the height, in feet, and t is the time, in seconds. Find the average rate of change from the initial launch to the maximum height.

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

The function provided is:

h(t)=-16t^2+120t+6

The average rate of change of h(t) as time goes from t=a to t=b is expressed as:

\frac{h(b)-h(a)}{b-a}

This function can be reformulated as: h(t)=-16(t-3.75)^2+231

The rocket's peak height is 231, which occurs at t=3.75 seconds.

\implies h(3.75)=231

The initial launch happens at: t=0

and h(0)=-16(0)^2+120(0)+6=6

The average rate of change from launch to max height is

\frac{h(3.75)-h(0)}{3.75-0}=\frac{231-6}{3.75-0} =60

A point x is 34m due to east of a point Y . The bearing of a flagpole from x and Y are N18°W And N40°E respectively .
Inessa [12570]
The distance from point Y to the flag post measures 38.13 m. Step-by-step explanation: Assuming point Y is located at the intersection of both lines shown. Point X is positioned 34 meters east of point Y. The flagpole at point X is observed at a bearing of N18°W, meaning it creates an angle of 18° to the west from the north at point X. Conversely, at point Y, the flagpole has a bearing of N40°E, which makes a 40° angle towards the east from the north. Considering ∆ AXY as a right triangle, the angle FXY is established. Then, concerning ∆ BYX as another right triangle, the angle FYX is also determined. To find the third angle ∠YFX in triangle FYX, the angle sum property of triangles can be applied: ∠YFX + ∠FYX + ∠FXY = 180° Thus, we have: ∠YFX + 50° + 72° = 180° leading to ∠YFX = 58°. Now we can calculate the distance FY using the sine rule.

Sarah buys a new bike. The total cost of the bike including taxes is $349. She pays $100 down and then agrees to pay the balance
AnnZ [12381]

Each of the six payments amounts to $41.50

Step-by-step breakdown:

Given,

Total cost of the bike including taxes = $349

Initial payment = $100

Remaining balance = Total cost of bike - Initial payment

Remaining balance = 349 - 100

Remaining balance = $249

She opts to pay in six equal installments, so we divide the total remaining by 6.

Monthly payment = \frac{Amount\ left\ to\ pay}{No.\ of\ months}

Monthly payment = \frac{249}{6} = \$41.50

Each of the six payments amounts to $41.50

Consider the quadratic function.
babunello [11817]
A quadratic function in standard form is expressed as
f(x) = ax² + bx + c
with coefficients a, b, and c.

The quadratic function provided is
f(p) = p² - 8p - 5
By relating this to the standard form, where p stands in for x, we find:
a = 1 because the leading coefficient is 1*p²,
b = -8 as the linear part is -8*p,
and c = -5 since the constant is -5.

Based on the choices available, the correct answer is the third one:
a = 1, b = -8, c = -5.
