Draw this, and the equation needed from the water is h(t)=-5t^2+20t+75, the height of the cliff.
\n" ); document.write( "after 5 seconds, h(5)=-5*25+20(5)+75=50 m above the water.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "maximum height is at t=-b/2a or -20/-10 or 2 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "it will hit the water when the equation equals 0.
\n" ); document.write( "changing all the signs, 5t^2-20t-75=0
\n" ); document.write( "there is one positive root
\n" ); document.write( "5(t^2-4t-15)=0
\n" ); document.write( "t=(1/2)(4+/- sqrt (16+60)); sqrt (76)=8.72
\n" ); document.write( "=6.36 seconds
