Question 1123183: Suppose a rocket is launched into the atmosphere, and the function h determine's the rocket's height above the ground (in miles) given a number of minutes t since the rocket was launched.
a. What does the equality h(3)=539 tell us in this context? Select all that apply.
-539 minutes after the rocket was launched, the rocket is 3 miles above the ground
-The rocket is currently 539 miles above the ground
-The rocket travels 539 miles every 3 minutes
-3 minutes after the rocket was launched, the rocket is 539 miles above the ground
b. What does the equality h-1(970)=7 tell us in this context? Select all that apply
-The rocket is currently 970 miles above the ground
-If the rocket is 970 miles above the ground, 7 minutes have elapsed since it was launched
-The rocket travels 970 miles every 7 minutes
-If the rocket is 7 miles above the ground, 970 minutes have elapsed since it was launched

I offer you this agreement:

    You do this assignment on your own and select all that apply.


    Then you post your results to the forum, and we, the tutors, will check it for you (for free).

I think it will be much more useful action than if we will do your job instead of you.

====================

Looking in this post, I think on how happy I was in my school years,

NEVER getting so stupid assignments from my teachers.

It was not possible and unthinkable at that time.
