At an altitude h in ft above sea level the boiling point of


Question: Solve the given quadratic equations by any appropriate method. All numbers are accurate to at least two significant digits.

At an altitude h (in ft) above sea level, the boiling point of water is lower by T °F than the boiling point at sea level, which is 212 °F. The difference can be approximated by solving the equation T2 + 520T - h = 0. What is the boiling point in Boulder, Colorado (altitude 5300 ft)?
