It's 150.8
If you ever need to find that, type into google "surface area of ____"
The diver will hit the water when the height is zero, so we will want to set our height function equal to zero
0 = -4t^2 + 11t + 3
we will then factor to find out value of t that make the function equal to zero
0 = (-4t - 1 ) ( t - 3 )
This means our function equals zero when t = -1/4 s and t = 3 seconds
Since time cannot be negative, our final solution is t = 3 seconds
- 5/12 + ( - 1/4) =
Adding two negatives results in a negative
-1/4 = -3/12
-3/12 + -5/12 = -8/12
-8/12 + 3/12 < Subtract and take the sign of the BIGGER number.
8 - 3 = 5
- 5/12
Answer: - 5/12
The quick and easy answer is 3/100
