Well when she hits the water h=0 so
2t^2-t-6=0 factor
2t^2-4t+3t-6=0
2t(t-2)+3(t-2)=0
(2t+3)(t-2)=0, since t>0
t=2 seconds...
However it should be noted that h(t)=-2t^2+t+6 implies that
v(t)=dh/dt=-4t+1 and
a(t)=dv/dt=-4
Since this is a free fall equation, this would suggest that the acceleration due to gravity is -4, whether that is supposed to be -4ft/s^2 or -4m/s^2, it certainly is not on this planet! :D If it is -4ft/s^2 it could be on the Moon or if it is -4m/s^2 it could be on Mars.
.48x =36 x=36/.48 x=75 So the total distance to kirk's grandmother's house was 75 miles
5.95 + 2.95 = 8.9
8.9 + 29.95 = 38.85
62.35 - 38.85 = 23.5
So Daniel spent $23.50 on long distance calling
