\n" ); document.write( "t a diving competition, divers will jump off a 64-foot high cliff. The diver's height above the water, at time t, is given by the equation h = -16t squared + 64. How long will it take the diver to hit the water and have a height of 0? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"0+=+-16t%5E2+%2B+64\"$

\n" ); document.write( " $\"16t%5E2+=+64\"$

\n" ); document.write( " $\"t%5E2+=+4\"$

\n" ); document.write( "t = + or - 2

\n" ); document.write( "The diver doesn't have a time machine, so the -2 isn't valid in the real world. It takes the diver 2 seconds to hit the water.

\n" ); document.write( "But guess what, someone drained the pool. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
