A rocket is launched from the top of a 30 foot cliff with an initial velocity of 100 feet per second. The height, h, of the rocket after t seconds is given by the equation h= -167 + 100t + 30. How long after the rocket is launched will it be 10 feet from the ground?

On the way home from visiting his family, vincent’s plane cruised at an altitude of 3.2 × 10^4 feet. he had heard that a man named felix baumgartner skydived from an altitude of 1.28 × 10^5 feet. vincent wants to know how much higher felix went on his skydiving trip. question 1 you have already seen how adding numbers works in either scientific notation or standard notation. but can you subtract numbers in scientific notation and get the same results as subtracting in standard notation? to find out, first solve vincent’s problem in standard notation. part a write the cruising altitude of vincent’s plane in standard notation.
