The height in feet h of a water bottle rocket launched from a rooftop is given by the equation h = -16t2 + 320t + 32, where t is

the time in seconds. After the rocket is fired, how long will it take to return to the ground? Solve by completing the square. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

At the time the rocket hits the ground h=0, given that h=-16t²+320t+32
when h=0, our equation will be:
-16t²+320t+32=0
solving the above by completing square method we proceed as follows;
-16t²+320t+32=0
divide though by -16 we get
t²-20t-2=0
t²-20t=2
but
c=(-b/2a)^2
c=(20/2)^2
c=100
hence:
t²-20t+100=100+2
(t-10)(t-10)=102
√(t-10)²=√102
t-10=√102
hence
t=10+/-√102
t~20.1 or -0.1
since it must have taken long, then the answer is 20.1 sec

Anit [1.1K]
Since we must save 50 meals for volunteers, the real amount we are giving away is 700 meals in 12 hours.

700/12 = 58.3333...

10*58.333.. = 583.333....

Since we can't serve 1/3 of a person, we take 583. Hope this helps!

The function g(x) = 5x2 – 10x written in vertex form is g(x) = 5(x – 1)2 – 5. The function g(x) is shown on the graph along with
natka813 [3]
The general vertex form of the a quadratic function is y = (x - h)^2 + k. In this form, the vertex is (h,k) and the axis of symmetry is x = h. Then, you only need to compare the vertex form of g(x) with the general vertex form of the parabole to conclude the vertex point and the axis of symmetry. g(x) = 5(x-1)^2 - 5 => h = 1 and k = - 5 => theis vertex = (1, -5), and the axis of symmetry is the straight line x = 1. <span>Answer: the vertex is (1,-5) and the symmetry axis is x = 1.</span>

Which number in the monomial 215x18y3z21 needs to be changed to make it a perfect cube?
Murljashka [212]
Remember
xyz=(x)(y)(z)
if x and y and z are all perfect cubes, xyz is also a perfect cube

remmeber
(x^n)^m=x^(mn)
so if it is perfect cube it can be factored into
(x^n)^3, such taht n is a whole number
basiclaly, see if the expoent is divisble by 3

all of them should be perfect cubes

215x^18y^3z^21

split them up to see which ones need changing

215=5*43, not  a perfect cube
could be changed to 6^3, which is 216

x^18=(x^6)^3

y^3=y^3
z^21=(z^7)^3

the 215 needs to be changed
