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?

\\(-16t^2 + 1,000 < 300\\)
\\(-16t^2 + 1,000 \le 300\\)
\\(-16t^2 + 1,000 \ge 300\\)
\\(-16t^2 + 1,000 > 300\\)

Explanation:

Identify the given formula and target condition

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Substitute the formula into the inequality

$$ -16t^2 + 1,000 > 300 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(-16t^2 + 1,000 < 300\)
  • (B) \(-16t^2 + 1,000 \le 300\)
  • (C) \(-16t^2 + 1,000 \ge 300\)
  • (D) \(-16t^2 + 1,000 > 300\) (Correct answer)
