A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second. y=-16x^2+242x+73

t = 15.42 s

Step-by-step explanation:

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation.

We ned to find the time when the rocket will the ground. For this, y = 0

It is a quadratic equation whose solution is given by :

Here, a = -16, b = 242 and c = 73

Neglecting negative value.

So, it will hit the ground in 15.42 s.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
