A diver jumps from a diving board. The diver's height (h in meters) of his

feet above the water is found using the equation h(t) = -4.9t? +91 +3 where
t is the time in seconds after the diver jumps. What is the height of the
diving board above the water?

if the diver has not jumped yet (t = 0) then his feet must be on the diving board. therefore plug in 0 and solve.

h(t) = -4.9(0) + 91 + 3 = 94 meters

but this seems extremely high so please check that you have copied the question down correctly.
