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 = -162 + 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?
O -166 +1,000 < 300
0 -1672 +1,000 3 300
O-166 +1,000 300
O -166 +1,000 > 300

Answer:

[tex]-16t^2 + 1,000>300[/tex]

[tex]t<6.61\ s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the distance of the object while falling is given by the equation:

[tex]d = -16t^2 + 1,000[/tex]

To find the time interval in which the object is at a height greater than 300 ft, we must do

[tex]d> 300[/tex]

So

[tex]-16t^2 + 1,000>300[/tex]

[tex]-16t^2>-700[/tex]

[tex]16t^2<700[/tex]

[tex]t^2<\frac{700}{16}[/tex]

[tex]t<\sqrt{\frac{700}{16}}[/tex]

[tex]t<6.61\ s[/tex]

The interval is

t ∈ (0, 6.61)

And the inequality used  is: [tex]-16t^2 + 1,000>300[/tex]
