Problem 109

Naval Operations. Two warning flares are fired upward at the same time from different parts of a ship. The height of the first flare is $\left(-16 t^{2}+128 t+20\right)$ feet and the height of the higher-traveling second flare is $\left(-16 t^{2}+150 t+40\right)$ feet, after $t$ seconds.
a. Find a polynomial that represents the difference in the heights of the flares.
b. In 4 seconds, the first flare reaches its peak, explodes, and lights up the sky. How much higher is the second flare at that time?
