Answer:
Trampolinist will land on the trampoline after 0.9 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function h(t) = -16t² + 15 represents the relation between height 'h' above the ground and the time 't' of the trampolinist.
We have to find the time when trampolinist lands on the ground.
That means we have to find the value of 't' when h(t) = 15 - 13 = 2
[Since trampoline is 2 feet above the ground]
When we plug in the value h(t) = 2
2 = -16t² + 15
2 + 16t² = -16t² + 16t² + 15
16t² + 2 = 15
16t² + 2 - 2 = 15 - 2
16t² = 13
t =
t ≈ 0.9 seconds
Therefore, trampolinist will land on the trampoline at 0.9 seconds.
