How long will it take the dolphin to jump out of the water and touch the trainer's hand? Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The height h in feet reached by a dolphin t seconds after breaking the surface of the water is given by h = -16t^2 + 32t

.
You don't mention how high up the trainer's hand is... But, I'll assume it is at the highest point at which the dolphin can jump. If so, you can find this by finding the "axis of symmetry":
.
t = -b/2a
t = -32/(2(-16))
t = -32/(-32)
t = 1 second
