SOLUTION: The position of an object moving in a straight line is given by s(t)=t^2-8t, where s is in the feet and t is the time in seconds the object has been in motion. How long will it tak

Question 93: The position of an object moving in a straight line is given by s(t)=t^2-8t, where s is in the feet and t is the time in seconds the object has been in motion. How long will it take the object to move 11ft.

Well, you have to find out t such that s(t) = 11. That is, t^2-8t = 11. Or t^2-8t-11 = 0. Solve it using my solver, here's the graph:
