34. Example 4: Sports Application
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 = –16t t 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?

35. Example 4 Continued
Step 2 Find the horizontal distance that the shot put will have traveled in this time.
x = 29.3t
x ≈ 29.3(1.77)
Substitute 1.77 for t.
x ≈ 51.86
Simplify.
x ≈ 52
The shot put will have traveled a horizontal distance of about 52 feet.
