Answer:
1 ≥ t ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
h(t) = -16t² + 64t + 4
Required
Determine the interval which the bar is at a height greater than or equal to 52ft
This implies that
h(t) ≥ 52
Substitute -16t² + 64t + 4 for h(t)
-16t² + 64t + 4 ≥ 52
Collect like terms
-16t² + 64t + 4 – 52 ≥ 0
-16t² + 64t – 48 ≥ 0
Divide through by 16
-t² + 4t – 3 ≥ 0
Multiply through by -1
t² – 4t + 3 ≤ 0
t² – 3t – t + 3 ≤ 0
t(t – 3) -1(t – 3) ≤ 0
(t – 1)(t – 3) ≤ 0
t – 1 ≤ 0 or t – 3 ≤ 0
t ≤ 1 or t ≤ 3
Rewrite as:
1 ≥ t or t ≤ 3
Combine inequality
1 ≥ t ≤ 3
