Question 139858: A ramp-to-ground motorcycle jump can be modeled by the quadratic function
h = -0.0022d2 + 0.46d + 19,
where d is the distance in feet along the ground from where the motorcycle left the ramp and h is the height of the motorcycle in feet. How long was the jump?
Round your answer to two decimal places. The units will be typed in the second box.

A ramp-to-ground motorcycle jump can be modeled by the quadratic function
h = -0.0022d2 + 0.46d + 19,
where d is the distance in feet along the ground from where the motorcycle left the ramp and h is the height of the motorcycle in feet. How long was the jump?
--------------------------------
Height will be zero when the motocycle hits the ground.
--------------------------------
-0.0022d^2 + 0.46d + 19 = 0
d = [-0.46 +- Sqrt(0.46^2 - 4*-0.0022*19)]/(2*-0.0022)
d = [-0.46 +- sqrt(0.21206...)/(-0.0044)
Positive Solution:
d = [-0.46-0.46]/-0.0044
d = 209.09 ft
