Answer: (A) 6.6 sec (B) 6.89 sec

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

    y    = -16t² + 1700

 1000 = -16t² + 1700

 <u>-1700</u>     <u>         -1700  </u>

  -700 = -16t²

 <u> ÷-16  </u>   <u>÷-16 </u>

 43.75 = t²

√43.75 = √t²

   6.6 = t

***********************************

    y    = -16t² + 1700

  940 = -16t² + 1700

 <u>-1700</u>     <u>         -1700  </u>

  -760 = -16t²

 <u> ÷-16  </u>   <u>÷-16 </u>

  47.5 = t²

√47.5 = √t²

  6.89 = t
