Algebra.Com's Answer #842375 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation H(T)=-16x^2+64x+9 models the height, H , in feet, of a model rocket t \n" ); document.write( "seconds after it has been launched from 9 feet above the ground. How many seconds after launching the rocket will it reach its maximum height? \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "There are no T's in the function. \n" ); document.write( "Assuming you mean H(T)=-16T^2 + 64T + 9 \n" ); document.write( "////////////////// \n" ); document.write( "At the apogee, max height, the vertical speed is zero (0). \n" ); document.write( "============= \n" ); document.write( "H(T)=-16T^2 + 64T + 9 \n" ); document.write( "H'(T) = -32T + 64 = 0 ----- THE 1ST DERIVATIVE \n" ); document.write( "T = 2 seconds \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
