first, you should not zero out your older questions. second, this is the same type problem as your previous ones.
Good.
Did you get the correct answer?
Okay, let me check.
splash occurs at 11.2022 seconds
max occurs at 4.48979591837seconds and it has y=220.775510204meters above sea-level
Please be specific about what is wrong.
I got an answer different from yours.
Your answer = 11.54 seconds My answer = 11.2022 seconds
Your answer = 229.96 meters above sea-level My answer = 220.775510204meters above sea-level
Please tell which answers are incorrect.
jhalt, you typed in the wrong equation into wolfram
Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
@jhalt 11.5445 seconds 11268/49 = 229.959183673 meters above sea-level http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=0+%3D+-4.9x%5E2+%2B+46x+%2B+122 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=max%28-4.9x%5E2+%2B+46x+%2B+122%29
Try typing in 11268/49 instead of 229.96 for the second answer.
Maybe an exact improper fraction is preferred to a decimal approximation?
Do decimal approximations usually work?
Me too.
Good question, lets find out.
out of curiosity, why does it work now? did you type it in wrong the first time ?
@phi, I think it works now because the answer 11268/49 is exact while 229.96 is a decimal approximation.
@jhalt first answer is (230 + 6*sqrt(3130))/49
\[\frac{ 230 + 6\sqrt{3130} }{ 49}\]
That is the exact time at which the rocket splashes.
