Projectile Problems
89. A projectile is fired at an angle into the air from atop a cliff overlooking the ocean. The projectile’s distance (in feet) from the base of the cliff is given by the equation \(x = 180t \) and the projectile’s height above sea level (in feet) is given by the equation \(y = −16t^2 + 352t + 1664 \) where \(t\) is the amount of time (in seconds) that has passed since the projectile’s release. How much time passes before the projectile splashes into the ocean? At that time, how far is the projectile from the base of the cliff?
