A Boeing 747 jet takes off from Boston's Logan Airport, which is at sea level, and climbs to a cruising altitude of 27,000 ft at a constant rate of 1400ft/min.

A.) write a linear equation for the height of the plane in terms of the time after takeoff.
B.) use your equation to find the height of the plane 14 min after takeoff.

1 answer

height = 1400t , for 0 ≤ t ≤ 19.29

b)
when t - 14
height = 1400(14) = 19600
