Find the time it takes for a rocket following the path h(x)= -2x^2+ 18 to hit the ground a. 2 seconds b. 3 seconds c. 8 seconds d. 9 seconds

The time it takes for a rocket  to hit the ground is 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given equation for height as

where

x is the time in seconds

When object hits the ground

then height becomes 0

so, we can set h(x)=0

and then we can solve for x

Subtract both sides by 18

So,

the time it takes for a rocket  to hit the ground is 3 seconds

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24
