A model rocket is launched from ground level. Its height, h meters above the ground, is a function of time t seconds after launch and is given by the equation h=-4.9t^2+68.6t What would be the maximum height, to the nearest meter, attained by the model?

240 m to nearest meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -4.9t^2 + 68.6t

We need to convert this to vertex form to find the maximum value of h:

h = -4.9(t^2 - 14t)

h = -4.9[(t - 7)^2 - 49]

h =  -4.9(t - 7)^2 + 240.1

So maximum height is when t = 7 and it's 240.1 meters.

yes

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
