An object is dropped from a small plane. As the object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the

formula d = -1612 + 1,000. Which inequality can be used to find the interval of time taken by the object to reach the height
greater than 300 feet above the ground?
-167 +1,000 <300

The inequality can be used to find the interval of time taken by the object to reach the height greater than 300 feet above the ground is:


d = -16t^2 + 1000

Solution:

The object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the formula:


d = -16t^2 + 1000

To find the time interval in which the object is at a height greater than 300 ft

Frame a inequality,


-16t^2 + 1000 > 300

Solve the inequality

Subtract 1000 from both sides


-16t^2 + 1000 - 1000 > 300 - 1000\\\\-16t^2 > -700


16t^2 < 700\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 16\\\\t^2 < (700)/(16)\\\\Take\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\\t < \sqrt{(700)/(16)}\\\\t < \pm 6.61

Time cannot be negative

Therefore,

t < 6.61

And the inequality used is:
-16t^2 + 1000>300
