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.

Here is the full question

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.

Equation:

y=-16x^2+153x+98

10.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation :

shown the expression of a quadratic equation

Let y =0

∴

0 =

where;

Using the quadratic formula:

replacing it with our values; we have:

   OR    

  OR    

Hence, we go by the positive value since,  is the time that the rocket will hit the ground.

x= 10.17

x = ≅ 10.2 seconds

Therefore, the rocket will hit the ground,  to the nearest 100th of second.  = 10.2 seconds

i need a picture

step-by-step explanation:

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
