A toy rocket is launched vertically upward from a 12 foot platform with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second. Its height h at timet seconds after
launch is given by the equation h(t) = -16t2 + 128t + 12. How many
seconds until the rocket is 40 feet?
0.23 seconds
4.5 seconds
5.67 seconds
7.77 seconds
8.09 seconds
11.34 seconds
12.52 seconds

The rocket is at 40 feet after 7.77 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the quadratic formula to solve for t.

We take the positive answer which is 7.77

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
