The height in meters of a ball released from a ramp is given by the function h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 29.4t + 34.3, where t represents the time in seconds since the ball was released from the end of the ramp. Determine the time interval that the ball is above 50m. \n" ); document.write( "What I have tried: -4.9t^2 + 29.4t + 34.3 +50 = 0 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "-4.9t^2 + 29.4t + 34.3 = 50 \n" ); document.write( "so you should have \n" ); document.write( "-4.9t^2 + 29.4t + 34.3 - 50 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "-4.9t^2 + 29.4t - 15.5 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "The ball will be above 50 m between the two x intercept solutions \n" ); document.write( "I got: \n" ); document.write( "x ~ 5.416 - .584 ~ 4.8 sec above 50 m \n" ); document.write( " |
