a competitive cliff diver jumps from a height of 75 feet. Find the number of feet. The diver is above the ocean for two seconds evaluate for t equals two by using the formula 75-16t where tea is the time in seconds

1 answer

To find the height of the cliff diver above the ocean after 2 seconds, we can use the formula given:

\[ h(t) = 75 - 16t \]

where \( h(t) \) is the height in feet at time \( t \) seconds.

Now, we need to evaluate this expression for \( t = 2 \). Plugging in 2 for \( t \):

\[ h(2) = 75 - 16(2) \] \[ h(2) = 75 - 32 \] \[ h(2) = 43 \]

So, after 2 seconds, the diver is 43 feet above the ocean.
