At altus the base has three runways where runway A is 3500 ft. long, Runway B is 13,500 ft long and runway C is 15000 ft. long. on which runways could captain banker takeoff in the c-17 if the minimum runway length(in thousans of feet) is given by the function L(x)=3 log x, where x is the weight of the plane in the thousands of pound? Justify answer. \n" ); document.write( "

Minimum runway length (L, in thousands of feet) for take-off is given by:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%28x%29+=+3%2Alog%28%28x%29%29\"$ where x = weight of plane in thousands of pounds = 585
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%28585%29+=+3%2Alog%28%28585%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%28585%29+=+3%2A2.767155\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L+=+8.301\"$ thousands of feet.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L+=+8301\"$ feet.
\n" ); document.write( "Runways B and C could be used.
\n" ); document.write( "Runway A, at 3,500 feet would be under the minimum runway length. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
