A bungee jumper plummets from a high bridge to the river below and then bounces back over and over again. At time t seconds after her jump, her height H (in meters) above the river is given by
H(t)=120+95e^-(t/30)cos(pi/4)t
----------
If you mean H(t)=120+95e^(-t/30)*cos(t*pi/4)
Find her height at the times indicated in the table. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
