Pls im giving away 50 points a diver jumps from a diving board that is 24 feet above the water. the height of the diver is given by: h=-16(t-1.5)(t+1) where the height h is measured in feet, and the time t is measured in seconds. when will the diver hit the water? can you see a quick way to find the answer? explain

t =1.5 seconds

h =0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

h=-16(t-1.5)(t+1)

this function crosses the t axis when the diver hits the water

set the equation equal to 0

0=-16(t-1.5)(t+1)

divide by -16

0 =(t-1.5)(t+1)

we can use the zero product property to find when this happens

t-1.5 =0   t+1 =0

t = 1.5   t= -1

time cannot be negative

t =1.5 seconds

the height will be 0 when the diver hits the water

b or 2, just plug these equations into your graphing calculator then check the graph to see the image. if it matches up then that's your answer!

hi there! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out today. the answer is pretty simple (in a way). this equation equals to 25.2!

i hope this answer !
