Question

Two balloons, one red and one green are released from a platform at t=0. Each balloon goes up for a while, then comes down.

The height (in meters) of the red balloon from the platform after tt  minutes is given by

R(t)=−10t2+400tR(t)=−10t2+400t 
 The height (in meters) of the green balloon from the platform after tt  minutes is given by

G(t)=−16t2+120tG(t)=−16t2+120t  How long is the interval of time in which the red balloon is rising and the green balloon is falling?  

ANSWER:  ____________ minutes

Do not include units in the answer blank.  Just a number.  If rounding is necessary, round to two digits after the decimal.
