Solution

The height of the deck is represented by the constant term in the equation, which is 15. Therefore, the deck is 15 meters high.

Using this equation, find the maximum height reached by the rocket, to the nearest tenth of a foot.y, equals, minus, 16, x, squared, plus, 162, x, plus, 82y=−16x 2 +162x+82AnswerAttempt 1 out of 2

ProblemEarlier, you were told about a toy rocket fired into the air from the top of a barn. Its height (hℎ) above the ground in yards after x𝑥 seconds is given by the function:h(x)=−5x2+10x+20ℎ(𝑥)=−5𝑥2+10𝑥+20What was the maximum height of the rocket? SolutionThe maximum height was reached by the rocket at one second as you found in part b from the previous example. It takes second to reach the maximum height. We will substitute that value in for x𝑥 in our function and simplify.The maximum height reached by the rocket was yards. What is the time it takes for the rocket to hit the ground? (Use a graph or any other method to solve.)It takes approximately seconds for the rocket to hit the ground. (Round to the nearest tenth.)CheckQuestion 9
