Algebra.Com's Answer #702981 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A projectile is fired vertically upward and its height s(t) in feet after t-seconds is given by the function defined by s(t) = -16t^2 + 800t + 600. After how many seconds will the projectile be 5000 ft above the ground? \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Solve:: \n" ); document.write( "-16t^2+800t + 600 = 5000 \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "-16t^2 + 800t - 4400 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "t^2 - 50t + 275 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "time on the way up = 6.2917 sec or time on the way down = 43.7083 sec \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "-------------------\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
