NASA launches a rocket at t=0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by $$\displaystyle{h}{\left({t}\right)}=-{4.9}{t}^{{{2}}}+{358}{t}+{129}$$ Assuming rocket launched at t = 0 and height is measured above sea level in meters.

Sub part a) Rocket splashes into ocean Height will be zero $$\displaystyle-{4.9}{t}^{{{2}}}+{358}{t}+{129}={0}$$ For a quadratic equation $$\displaystyle{a}{x}^{{{2}}}+{b}{x}+{c}={0}$$, The solutions are, $$\displaystyle{x}=\frac{{-{b}\pm\sqrt{{{\left({b}^{{{2}}}-{4}{a}{c}\right)}}}}}{{2}}{a}$$ By substituting $$\displaystyle{a}=-{4.9},{b}={358},{c}={129}$$
$$\displaystyle{t}=-{0.36},{73.42}$$ Since time cannot be negative. Hence the rocket splashes down into ocean after 73.42 seconds (rounded to two decimals). Sub part b) The rocket reaches to peak when the first derivative of the height equation is zero. $$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{h}'{\left({t}\right)}={0}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow-{9.8}{t}+{358}={0}$$ Formula : derivative of $$\displaystyle{x}^{{{n}}}={n}{x}^{{{n}-{1}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{t}=\frac{{358}}{{9.8}}={36.53}$$ (Rounded to two decimals) $$\displaystyle{h}'{\left({36.53}\right)}=-{9.8}{\left({36.53}\right)}+{358}$$
$$\displaystyle=-{357.994}+{358}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{h}'{\left({36.53}\right)}{>}{0}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{h}{\left({t}\right)}$$ has its peak value at t=36.53 seconds and it's value is, $$\displaystyle{h}{\left({36.53}\right)}=-{4.9}{\left({36.53}\right)}^{{{2}}}+{358}{\left({36.53}\right)}+{129}$$
$$\displaystyle=-{6538.76}+{13077.74}+{129}$$
PSK= 6,667.98 Hence the peak value of rocket is at 36.53 seconds and the height is 6667.98 meters.

Two basketball players are essentially equal in all respects. In particular, by jumping they can raise their centers of mass the same vertical distance, H. The first player,Arabella, wishes to shoot over the second player, Boris, and forthis she needs to be as high above Boris as possible. Arabella Jumps at time t=0, and Boris jumps later, at time $$\displaystyle{t}_{{R}}$$(his reaction time). Assume that Arabella has not yet reached her maximum height when Boris jumps.
Part A.) Find the vertical displacement $$\displaystyle{D}{\left({t}\right)}={h}_{{A}}{\left({t}\right)}-{h}_{{B}}{\left({t}\right)}$$, as a function of time for the interval $$\displaystyle{0}{<}{t}{<}{t}_{{R}}$$, where $$\displaystyle{h}_{{A}}{\left({t}\right)}$$ is the height of the raised hands of Arabella, while $$\displaystyle{h}_{{B}}{\left({t}\right)}$$ is the height of the raised hands of Boris. (Express thevertical displacement in terms of H,g,and t.)
Part B.) Find the vertical displacement D(t) between the raised hands of the two players for the time period after Boris has jumped ($$\displaystyle{t}{>}{t}_{{R}}$$) but before Arabella has landed. (Express youranswer in terms of t,$$\displaystyle{t}_{{R}}$$, g,and H)
Part C.) What advice would you give Arabella To minimize the chance of her shot being blocked?
Anthony is working for an engineering company that is building a Ferris wheel to be used at county fairs. He wants to create an algebraic model that describes the height of a rider on the wheel in terms of time. He knows that the diameter of the wheel will be 90 feet and that the axle will be built to stand 55 feet off the ground. He also knows they plan to set the wheel to make one rotation every 60 seconds. Write at least two equations that model the height of a rider in terms of t, seconds on the ride, assuming that when t = 0, the rider is at his or her lowest possible height. Explain why both equations are accurate.
Part 2:One of Anthony's co-workers says, "Sine and cosine are basically the same thing." Anthony is not so sure, and can see things either way. Provide one piece of evidence that would confirm the co-worker's point of view. Provide one piece of evidence that would refute it. Hint: It may be helpful to consider the domain and range of different functions, as well as the relationship of each of these functions to triangles in the unit circle
The Manitou Incline, which leads to the top of Pike's Peak in Colorado, climbs from an elevation of 6574 feet to 8585 feet above sea level. The fastest reported time for running up the incline is 16 minutes and 42 seconds, by Mike Fretta. How many vertical feet per second did Mark climb during his record-breaking performance?

A relief airplane is delivering a food package to a group of people stranded on a very small island. The island is too small for the plane to land on, and the only way to deliver the package is by dropping it. The airplane flies horizontally with constant speed of 220 mph at an altitude of 800 m. The positive x and y directions are defined. For all parts, assume that the "island" refers to the point at a distance D from the point at which the package is released, as shownin the figure. Ignore the height of this point above sea level. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is g=9.80 .
An object moves in simple harmonic motion with period 5 seconds and amplitude 7 cm. At time $$\displaystyle{t}={0}$$ seconds, its displacement d from rest is -7 cm, and initially it moves in a positive direction.
Give the equation modeling the displacement d as a function of time t.
factor in determining the usefulness of an examination as a measure of demonstrated ability is the amount of spread that occurs in the grades. If the spread or variation of examination scores is very small, it usually means that the examination was either too hard or too easy. However, if the variance of scores is moderately large, then there is a definite difference in scores between "better," "average," and "poorer" students. A group of attorneys in a Midwest state has been given the task of making up this year's bar examination for the state. The examination has 500 total possible points, and from the history of past examinations, it is known that a standard deviation of around 60 points is desirable. Of course, too large or too small a standard deviation is not good. The attorneys want to test their examination to see how good it is. A preliminary version of the examination (with slight modifications to protect the integrity of the real examination) is given to a random sample of 20 newly graduated law students. Their scores give a sample standard deviation of 70 points. Using a 0.01 level of significance, test the claim that the population standard deviation for the new examination is 60 against the claim that the population standard deviation is different from 60.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
$$H_{0}:\sigma=60,\ H_{1}:\sigma\ <\ 60H_{0}:\sigma\ >\ 60,\ H_{1}:\sigma=60H_{0}:\sigma=60,\ H_{1}:\sigma\ >\ 60H_{0}:\sigma=60,\ H_{1}:\sigma\ \neq\ 60$$
(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
