Calculation:
Given that a=3400t+600 where a is the altitude of the plane in t minutes after liftoff.
Given that the altitude of the plane is 21,000 feet.
Substitute the value of a in the given equation,
21000=3400t+600
21000600=3400t
20400=3400t
t=6
Conclusion:
Therefore, the plane is at an altitude of 21,000 ft, 6 minutes after the liftoff.
