need help with this math problem?

Posted on May 14, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Blast Off math:

Two friends, Regina and Brenda, are members of the NASA rocket club but go to different schools. Regina goes to David East High School and Brenda attends Grad Gate High School. Each of their schools is having a competition to see whose model rocket can stay in the air the longest. Mr. Math helped the students construct equations that describe the height of the rocket from the ground when it has been launched upward from the roof of the school. The following are Regina’s and Brenda’s equations:

Brenda: -16t^2+40t+56
Regina: -5t^2+15t+8
T= seconds h= feet for brenda, meters for regina.

I’m fourteen and i’m really interested in rockets. I have been launching off the model rockets you can buy from hobby stores since i was 8. For a book report, i read the book October Sky and saw the movie. Now, i’m really interested in making my own rocket. Does anyone have any links or good book i can read to get to know enough about them to make a simple rocket? I’m really good at math and i’m a real good at science too. If you don’t have any links or any books that would really help, i can handle the equations, even if they’re for the nozzle. I was hoping i could make one out of metal…not just cardboard. Thanks in advance foryour help!

Will you please give me advice on Home Schooling?

Posted on April 10, 2012 by admin| 17 Comments

My 13 year old nephew has moved in with my parents next door to me. He’s a wonderful child who has not had a healthy role model. He was in many fights in school and is below his level in academics. He does NOT do well in public schools at all! It’s due to the way my sister raised him. But, now he is here (next door) and we (my mother and I) have decided to both home school him. My mom ordered all the materials and I will be teaching him Math, Computer Skills, Typing and Reading. Yesterday was a very difficult day. It was our first day with Math. He is definately behind but I was positive through the whole experience. It took him 3 hours to understand the Periods of a number. You know… ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, etc. At this rate we are not going to get through the material to keep him on track. I’ve taught adults to read in the past and have trained many adults for work purposes. But, this is new to me. Can anyone please help me with teaching skills

Can sum1 give me one solution to 4×2 – 12x = 64 and Round the solution to the nearest hundredth?

Suppose you launch a model rocket from a platform 2 ft
above the ground with an initial upward velocity of 100 ft/s. After how many seconds will the rocket hit the ground? Round the solution to the nearest hundredth.
