Answer:
D) 14 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
First we will plug 500 in for y:
500 = -4.9t² + 120t
We want to set this equal to 0 in order to solve it; to do this, subtract 500 from each side:
500-500 = -4.9t² + 120t - 500
0 = -4.9t²+120t-500
Our values for a, b and c are:
a = -4.9; b = 120; c = -500
We will use the quadratic formula to solve this. This will give us the two times that the object is at exactly 500 meters. The difference between these two times will tell us when the object is at or above 500 meters.
The quadratic formula is:
Using our values for a, b and c,
The two times the object is at exactly 500 meters above the ground are at 5 seconds and 19 seconds. This means the amount of time it is at or above 500 meters is
19-5 = 14 seconds.
