Answer:

The diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)

Required (Missing from the question)

When will the diver hit the water?

To do this, we simply solve for t

When the diver hits the water, the height is 0 (at that point)

So, substitute 0 for h in h= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)

0= -16(t-1.5)(t+1)

Divide both sides by -16

\frac{0}{-16} =\frac{-16(t-1.5)(t+1)}{-16}

\frac{0}{-16} =(t-1.5)(t+1)

0 =(t-1.5)(t+1)

(t-1.5)(t+1)=0

Split

t - 1.5 = 0 or t + 1 = 0

Solve for t

t = 1.5 or t = -1

But time (t) can not be negative.

So:

t = 1.5

Hence, the diver will hit the water at 1.5 seconds
