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 out
the time at which the rocket will reach its max, to the nearest 100th of a second.
y = -16x2 + 161x + 108

answer: 12

step-by-step explanation:

because yes

answer: c

(2, -4)

goes 7 to the

(9, 4)

easy

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
