Question 955845: A small rock sits on the edge of a tall building. A strong wind blows the rock off the edge. The distance, in feet, between the rock and the ground tseconds after the rock leaves the edge is given by d=−16t2−7t+500.
If the answer is not an integer, enter it as a decimal. Round to the nearest hundredth, if needed.
How many seconds after the rock leaves the edge is it 461feet from the ground?
