Find the time it takes for a rocket following the path, h(x) = - 3x2 + 18x, to reach a maximum. In your final answer, include all of your calculations and a verbal explanation of the process that you followed in your solution.

it takes 3 seconds for it to get the the maximum height

Step-by-step explanation:

well this is easy bc it is negative so we know it goes down, meaning the vertex will be at the top/highest point.

so all u gotta do is find the vertex which is x=-b/2a

now we gotta plug the numbers in and solve

h(x)=-3x^2+18x

x=-18/2(-3)=-18/-6=3

voilà there is the answer, 3 seconds

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.

you 're wlecome! : )
