Based on the discus records from the Olympics the winning distance can be approximated by d=175+1.75t where
\n" ); document.write( " d is in feet and t=0 corresponds to the year 1948.
\n" ); document.write( "estimate the year in which the winning toss should be about 260feet
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "d = 260, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "175 + 1.75t = 260
\n" ); document.write( "1.75t = 260 - 175
\n" ); document.write( "1.75t = 85
\n" ); document.write( "t = 85/1.75
\n" ); document.write( "t = 48.57 ~ 49
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1948 + 49 = 1997 the yr of the winning toss; 260 ft \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
