Question 151767This question is from textbook Elementary and Intermediate Algebra
: Bob and Betty simultaneously jump from two airplanes at different altitudes. Bob's altitude t seconds after leaving the plane is -16t^2+6600 feet. Betty's altitude t seconds after leaving the plane is -16t^2+7400 feet. Write a polynomial that represents that difference between their altitudes t seconds after leaving the planes. What is the difference between their altitudes 3 seconds after leaving the planes? This question is from textbook Elementary and Intermediate Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Bob and Betty simultaneously jump from two airplanes at different altitudes. Bob's altitude t seconds after leaving the plane is -16t^2+6600 feet. Betty's altitude t seconds after leaving the plane is -16t^2+7400 feet. Write a polynomial that represents that difference between their altitudes t seconds after leaving the planes. What is the difference between their altitudes 3 seconds after leaving the planes?
:
d = difference
d = (-16t^2+7400) - (-16t^2+6600)
d = -16t^2 + 16t^2 + 7400 - 6600
d = 1800 ft, is the difference through-out the jump
