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

DedPeter [7]

<em><u>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:</u></em>

$d = -16t^2 + 1000$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the formula:</u></em>

$d = -16t^2 + 1000$

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

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

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

Time cannot be negative

Therefore,

t < 6.61

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