The height in feet above the water of a diver can be modeled by ℎ() = −16*2 − 16 + 192, where t is the time in seconds after the diver jumps off a platform. find the time it takes for the diver to reach the water. (solve using any method you wish.)

h(t) is the height of the diver in feet above the water

Now it asks about the time at which diver reaches the water

When diver reaches the water , the height of diver from water should be zero

So we plug h(t) =0

So

divide whole equation by -16

we can now factor the quadratic equation

So we get

(t+4)(t-3) =0

plug each factor equal to zero and solve for t

t+4 =0 and t-3 =0

So t=-4 and t=3

Now time cannot be negative , So t=3

So time = 3 seconds

It takes 3 seconds for the diver to reach the water
