4E X A M P L E Aviation Application
The pilot of a helicopter plans to release a bucket of water on a forest fire. The height y in feet of the water t seconds after its release is modeled by y = -16 t 2 - 2t + 500. The horizontal distance x in feet between the water and its point of release is modeled by x = 91t. At what horizontal distance from the fire should the pilot start releasing the water in order to hit the target?
Step 1 Use the first equation to determine how long it will take the water to hit the ground. Set the height of the water equal to 0 feet, and use the quadratic formula to solve for t.
y = -16 t 2 - 2t + 500
0 = -16 t 2 - 2t + 500 Set y equal to 0.
t = -b ± √ """" b 2 - 4ac __ 2a
Use the Quadratic Formula.
t = - (-2) ± √ """"""""" (-2) 2 - 4 (-16) (500)
___ 2 (-16)
Substitute for a, b, and c.
t = 2 ± √ """ 32,004
__ -32
Simplify.
t ≈ -5.65 or t ≈ 5.53
The time cannot be negative, so the water lands on the target about 5.5 seconds after it is released.
Step 2 Find the horizontal distance that the water will have traveled in this time.
x = 91t
x = 91 (5.5) Substitute 5.5 for t.
x = 500.5 Simplify.
The water will have traveled a horizontal distance of about 500 feet. Therefore, the pilot should start releasing the water when the horizontal distance between the helicopter and the fire is 500 feet.
Check Use substitution to check that the water hits the ground after about 5.53 seconds.
y = -16 t 2 - 2t + 500
y = -16 (5.53) 2 - 2 (5.53) + 500
y ≈ -0.3544 ✔ The height is approximately equal to 0 when t = 5.53.
Use the information given above to answer the following. 4. The pilot’s altitude decreases, which changes the function
describing the water’s height to y = -16 t 2 - 2t + 400. To the nearest foot, at what horizontal distance from the target should the pilot begin releasing the water?
Once you have found the value of t, you have solved only part of the problem. You will use this value to find the answer you are looking for.

Example 4. An athlete on a track team throws a shot put. The height y of the shot put in feet t seconds after it is thrown is modeled by y = –16t2 + 24.6t + 6.5. The horizontal distance x in between the athlete and the shot put is modeled by x = 29.3t. To the nearest foot, how far does the shot put land from the athlete? """"""""""""""""""""""
