Question 340204: The velocity (in ft/s) of a sky diver t seconds after jumping is given by
v(t)= 60 (1-e^-.2t)
After how many seconds is the velocity 50 ft/s?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let v(t) = 50 and solve for t.
50 = 60 (1-e^(-.2t))
Use your knowledge of exponential equation to solve for t.
