SOLUTION: A cliff diver throws a pebble that take three seconds to strike the water. About how high is the diver above water? how do i solve with h(t)==4.9t^2+h?

Question 552716: A cliff diver throws a pebble that take three seconds to strike the water. About how high is the diver above water? how do i solve with h(t)==4.9t^2+h?

The function is:
which allows you to calculate the height (in meters) of of an object dropped from an initial height of as a function of time (t in secods).
When the object (pebble) reaches the ground, h = 0, so substitute this and t = 3 into the equation and solve for the corresponding value of .

meters.
