3. a model rocket is launched from the ground with an initial velocity of 352 ft/sec.
e. how long will it take the rocket to reach its maximum height? show all work in the space provided.

f. assume the model rocket’s parachute failed to deploy and the rocket fell back to the ground. how long would it take the rocket to return to earth from the time it was launched? show all work in the space provided.

e. It will take 11 seconds to reach the maximum height of 1,936 feet.

f. It will take 22 seconds to return to the earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity = 352 ft/sec

Solving for question e.

To find the time required to reach the maximum height we will use the formula,

,

where is the starting velocity

is the initial height.

Using the velocity and starting height from our problem we have,

,

The path of this rocket will be a downward facing parabola, so there will be a maximum.

This maximum will be at the vertex of the graph.

To find the vertex we start out with which in our case is,

So, It will take 11 seconds for the rocket to reach its maximum height.

We will find maximum height using the formula by substituting value of t we get,

Hence the maximum height will be

Now Solving for question f.

To find the time required for rocket to reach earth.

We will set our formula to 0 to find the time.

Using the zero product property, we know that either -16t = 0 or t - 22 = 0.  When -16t = 0 is at t = 0, when the rocket is launched. t - 22 = 0 gives us an answer of t = 22.

So the rocket reaches the Earth again at 22 seconds.

when functions are first introduced, you will probably have some simplistic "functions" and relations to deal with, usually being just sets of points. these won't be terribly useful or interesting functions and relations, but your text wants you to get the idea of what the domain and range of a function are. small sets of points are generally the simplest sorts of relations, so your book starts with those.

step-by-step explanation:

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}

the above list of points, being a relationship between certain x's and certain y's, is a relation. the domain is all the x-values, and the range is all the y-values. to give the domain and the range, i just list the values without duplication:

domain: {2, 3, 4, 6}

range: {–3, –1, 3, 6}

(it is customary to list these values in numerical order, but it is not required. sets are called "unordered lists", so you can list the numbers in any order you feel like. just don't duplicate: technically, repetitions are okay in sets, but most instructors would count off for this.)

while the given set does indeed represent a relation (because x's and y's are being related to each other), the set they gave me contains two points with the same x-value: (2, –3) and (2, 3). since x = 2 gives me two possible destinations (that is, two possible y-values), then this relation is not a function.

note that all i had to do to check whether the relation was a function was to look for duplicate x-values. if you find any duplicate x-values, then the different y-values mean that you do not have a function. remember: for a relation to be a function, each x-value has to go to one, and only one, y-value.

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(–3, 5), (–2, 5), (–1, 5), (0, 5), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

i'll just list the x-values for the domain and the y-values for the range:
