Question

A diver stands on a platform 15 feet above a lake. He does a dive off the platform and lands in the water below. High height (h) above the lake after x seconds is shown on the graph below. How many feet above the lake is the diver at 2 seconds?

Answer 1

The height above the lake at 2 seconds is;

`15\text{ feet}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the diver stands on a platform 15 feet above a lake.

And the given graph shows the height h after x seconds.

From the graph, at x=2 the height h is thesame as the initial height of the platform.

Therefore, the height above the lake at 2 seconds is;

`15\text{ feet}`
