Launching a rocket A small rocket is launched vertically upward from the edge of a cliff 80 ft above the ground at a speed of 96 ft>s. Its height (in feet) above the ground is given by h1t2= -16t2 + 96t + 80, where t represents time measured in seconds. a. Assuming the rocket is launched at t = 0, what is an appropriate domain for h? b. Graph h and determine the time at which the rocket reaches its highest point. What is the height at that time?
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
