A rocket is launched by Team Flash from the ground on Earth-60. The rocket passes a sensor at a height of 5280 feet after 5 seconds and lands back on Earth-60 after 71 seconds.
Write an equation for the height of the rocket, h, in feet as a function of the number of seconds, t, since
the rocket was launched.
Round to 3 decimal places as needed.
After how many seconds will the rocket reach its maximum height?
Round to 3 decimal places as needed.
What is the maximum height in feet that the rocket reaches?
Round to 3 decimal places as needed.

Albert = $2159.07; Marie = $2244.99; Hans = $2188.35; Max = $2147.40

Marie is $10 000 richer

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert

(a) $1000 at 1.2 % compounded monthly

A = 1000(1 + 0.001)¹²⁰ = $1127.43

(b) $500 losing 2%

0.98 × 500 = $490

(c) $500 compounded continuously at 0.8%

(d) Balance

Total = 1127.43 + 490.00+ 541.64 = $2159.07

Marie

(a) 1500 at 1.4 % compounded quarterly

A = 1500(1 + 0.0035)⁴⁰ = $1724.99

(b) $500 gaining 4 %

1.04 × 500 = $520.00

(c) Balance

Total = 1724.99 + 520.00 = $2244.99

Hans

$2000 compounded continuously at 0.9 %

Max

(a) $1000 decreasing exponentially at 0.5 % annually

A = 1000(1 - 0.005)¹⁰= $951.11

(b) $1000 at 1.8 % compounded biannually

A = 1000(1 + 0.009)²⁰ = $1196.29

(c) Balance

Total = 951.11 + 1196.29 = $2147.40

Marie is $ 10 000 richer at the end of the competition.
