Explanation Given: s ( t ) = − 16 t 2 + 8 t + 87 Calculation: Consider the following function, which represents the height of the ball, s ( t ) = − 16 t 2 + 8 t + 87 Where s ( t ) , in feet, t seconds after the ball was thrown. To find the value of t when s ( t ) > 87 . So, we get − 16 t 2 + 8 t + 87 > 87 Subtract 87 from both sides − 16 t 2 + 8 t > 0 − 8t ( 2 t − 1 ) > 0 − 8t ( 2 t − 1 ) − 8

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

A model rocket is launched from the top of a cliff 144 feet above sea level. The function s(t) = -16r + 128t + 144 describes the rocket's height above the water, s(t), in feet, t seconds after it is launched. The rocket misses the edge of the cliff on its way down and eventually lands in the ocean. How long will it take for the rocket to hit the water?
