NASA launches a test rocket with an initial velocity of 235 meters per second from an initial height of 15 meters above sea-level. Find a quadratic function that models the height of the rocket, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time t , in seconds after the launch. (HINT: 4.9 meters = 16 feet) Use your model to answer the following questions. Assuming that the rocket will splash down into the ocean, how many seconds after launch does splashdown occur? (round to the nearest tenth of one second) The rocket splashes down after seconds. What is the maximum height above sea-level attained by the rocket? (round to the nearest meter) The maximum height is meters above sea-level.

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator shows the points of interest nicely.

  The rocket splashes down after 48.0 seconds.

  The maximum height is 2833 meters above sea level.

__

The equation for the motion is ...

  h(t) = -4.9t^2 +235t +15 . . . . launch at 235 m/s from height of 15 m

The vertex (maximum height) is found at ...

  t = -(235)/(2(-4.9)) = 235/9.8 ≈ 23.980 . . . seconds

Then the maximum height is ...

  h(23.980) = (-4.9(23.980) +235)(23.980) +15 ≈ 2833 . . . meters

The value of t when h(t) = 0 can be found using the quadratic formula.

  t = (-235 -√(235² -4(-4.9)(15)))/(2(-4.9)) = (-235 -√55519)/-9.8

  t ≈ 48.023 ≈ 48.0 . . . seconds

Which equation can be used to solve for x in the
following diagram?
(3x + 12)
Choose 1 answer:
3x + 12) + x = 180
(3x + 12) = x
3x = 180 + x
(3x + 12) + x = 90

The smaller the sample, the less variability we will see. True or false

Consider harmonic oscillators with mass m, spring constant k, and damping coefficient b. For the values specified,

a. write the second-order differential equation and the corresponding first-order system.
b. find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the linear system.
c. classify the oscillator (as underdamped, overdamped, critically damped, or undamped) and, when appropriate, give the natural period.
d. sketch the phase portrait of the associated linear system and include the solution curve for the given initial condition.

The chamber of commerce for a beach town asked a random sample of city-dwellers, "Would you like to live at the beach?” Based on this survey, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of city-dwellers who would like to live at the beach is (0.56, 0.62).


Based on this poll, a chamber of commerce member claims that more than half of city-dwellers would prefer to live at the beach.

Use the confidence interval to evaluate this claim and select the true statement.



Yes, it is reasonable to assume this because all reasonable values in the confidence interval are greater than 0.50.


We cannot determine this without taking a census of all city-dwellers.


No, it is not reasonable to assume this because another 95% confidence interval might not be entirely above 0.50.


No, it is not reasonable to assume this because there are only two choices and the proportion of city-dwellers who should prefer either is exactly 0.50, not more than 0.50.

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 410 gram setting. It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags. A 22 bag sample had a mean of 408 grams with a standard deviation of 14. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled
