D(t)=11t2−120t gives the distance a car going a certain speed will skid in t seconds. Find the time it would take for the car to skid 170 feet.
-------
11t^2 - 120t - 170 = 0
-------
Use the Quadratic Formula to get:
t = [120 +- sqrt(120^2-4*11*-170)]/(22)
-----
t = [120 +- sqrt(21880)]/22
Positive solution::
t = [120 + 147.92]/22
t = 12.18 seconds
