Question

the height h (in feet) above the water of a cliff diver is modeled by h=-16t^2+10t+26 where t is time (in seconds). how long is the diver in the air?

Answer 1

Explanation:

When the diver hits the water at Height = 0 , the diver is no longer in the air .

0 -16t^2 + 10t + 26 Use Quadratic Formula

a = -16 b = 10 c= 26

to find the positive value of t = 1.625 s
