First, we'll try using the AC method.
(Because the degree of the quadratic is 2, there are two solutions.)
We cannot split the term using the AC method.
We'll instead use the quadratic formula.
Plug in values.
(-2 +/- √4 - 32)/2
(-2 +/- √-28)/2
(-2 +/- i√28)/2
(-2 +/- 2i√7)/2
(-1 +/- i√7)
<h3>x = (-1 + i√7)</h3><h3>x = (-1 - i√7)</h3><h3>The two values of x are found.</h3>
Set this up as ratio with feet on top and minutes on the bottom: 
. Cross multiply to get 213x = 112 and solve for x to get x = .52 feet. This means that after she has been descending for 8 minutes she is a half a foot from the top.
