Algebra.Com's Answer #428996 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A man jumps off a diving board into a pool. The equation h(t)=16T^2 + 40 gives the height,in feet, the man is above the pool t seconds after he jumps. \n" ); document.write( "a) how high above the pool is the diver after the first second? \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "h(t) = 16t^2 + 40 \n" ); document.write( "h(1) = 16 + 40 = 56 ft at 1 second \n" ); document.write( "h(5) = 16*25 + 40 = 440 ft at 5 seconds \n" ); document.write( "Do you see a problem with that? \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Use \n" ); document.write( "h(t) = -16t^2 + 40 \n" ); document.write( "Find h(1) \n" ); document.write( "==================== \n" ); document.write( "b) 40 feet \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
