Question 399492: I am having a hard time with this word problem, Could someone please help me? I have to solve and show my work.
For jumps that exceed 13 sec, the polynomial 173t-369 can be used to approximate the distance, in feet, that a skydiver has fallen in t seconds. Approximately how far has a skydiver fallen 20 seconds after having jumped from a plane?

Remove the t from your polynomial and put 20 in its place. Then do the arithmetic.
