A diver begins on a platform 10 meters above the surface of the water. The diver’s height is given by the equation h (t) = - 4.9 t 2 + 3.5t + 10, where t is the time
in seconds after the diver jumps.
a. How long does it take the diver to reach a point 1 meter above the water?
b. How many solutions does your equation from part a have?
c. Do all of the solutions to the equation make sense in the situation? Explain.
