Question

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 = -16t^2+ 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?

Answer 1

Which? There are no choices.

d = -16t²+ 1000

We want a height greater than 300, that's

d > 300

Answer: -16t²+ 1000 > 300

Since we don't have the list I'll continue to solve, generating equivalent inequalities along the way.

-16t²+ 1000 > 300

-16t² > -700

16t² < 700

t² < 700/16

Assuming t ≥ 0,

t < (5/2)√7
