the path of a toy rocket is modelled by the equation y=-x^2+6x+2, where x is the horizontal distance, in metres, travelled and y is the height, in metres, of the toy rocket above the ground. what is the maximum height of the toy rocket? at what horizontal distance does the maximum height occur?

Answer:

The path of a toy rocket is defined by the relation y=-3x^2+11x+4, where x is the horizontal distance, in meters, traveled and y is the height, in metres, above the ground.

Determine the zeros of the relation.

-3x^2 + 11x + 4 = 0

---

3x^2 - 11x -4 = 0

Factor:

3x^2 - 12x + x - 4 = 0

---

3x(x-4) + x-4 = 0

---

(x-4)(3x+1) = 0

---

 

x = 4 or x = -1/3

============================

f(x) = -3x^2+11x+4

How far has the rocket traveled horizontally when it lands on the ground?

4 ft.

==================

What is the maximum height of the rocket above the ground, to the nearest hundredth of a meter?

---

max occurs when x = -b/2a = -11/(2*-3) = 11/6

height = f(11/6) = 14.083 ft
