A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.

Here is the full question

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.

Equation:

y=-16x^2+153x+98

10.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation :

shown the expression of a quadratic equation

Let y =0

∴

0 =

where;

Using the quadratic formula:

replacing it with our values; we have:

   OR    

  OR    

Hence, we go by the positive value since,  is the time that the rocket will hit the ground.

x= 10.17

x = ≅ 10.2 seconds

Therefore, the rocket will hit the ground,  to the nearest 100th of second.  = 10.2 seconds

50-38=12
