polynomial equation

Question

during the first 13 sec of a jump, the distance S, in feet, that a skydiver falls in t seconds can be approximated by the polynomial equation S=11.13t^2. approximately how far has a skydiver fallen 10 sec after having jumped from a plane?

Answer 1

Just plug in 10 seconds for t in the equation!

S= 11.13(10)²

S=1113 ft
