To find the number of feet the diver is above the ocean in 2 seconds, we substitute t=2 into the formula 75−16t2.
75−16(2)2
75−16(4)
75−64
= 11
Therefore, the diver is 11 feet above the ocean after 2 seconds.
A competitive cliff-diver jumps from a height 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
