A competitive cliff diver jumps frome heights of 75 feet. Find the number of feet the diver is above the ocean in 2 seconds. Evaluate for t = 2 by using the formula 75-16t², where t is time in seconds

Answer 1

To find the number of feet the diver is above the ocean in 2 seconds, we substitute t=2 into the formula 75-16t².

So, we have 75-16(2)².

Simplifying, we get 75-16(4).

Further simplifying, we get 75-64.

Therefore, the number of feet the diver is above the ocean in 2 seconds is 11 feet.
