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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the diver hits the water the height, h(t), becomes zero.  We set h(t) equal to zero and solve the resulting equation for t:

h(t) = -4t^2+ 11t + 3 = 0

The coefficients of this quadratic equation are {-4, 11, 3}, and so the discriminant (needed in the quadratic formula) is -11 - 4(-4)(3) = 47.

                                            -11 ± √37               11 + √37            11 - √37

Therefore the roots are t = --------------, or t = ------------- or t = ---------------

                                                  -8                          8                        8

Both of these results are positive.  Picture the graph as one opening down and intersecting the x-axis in two places.  The diver hits the water (and h becomes zero) at the later time:

       11 + √37

t = ---------------- sec (a little over 2 sec)

              8

The graph represents the atmospheric pressure in pounds per square inch as a function of altitude in mi above the sea level. Whi
Maksim231197 [3]

Let's analyze each answer:


The atmospheric pressure is lower at 15 miles above sea level than at 10 miles above sea level.  --> true

In fact, we see that the pressure at 15 miles above sea level is less than 1 pound per square inch, while the pressure at 10 miles above sea level is almost 2 pound per square inch.


As the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure increases.  --> false

It's actually the opposite: from the graph, we see that as the altitude increases (going towards right on the graph), the pressure decreases.

The atmospheric pressure is 14 pounds per square inch at sea level.  --> true

If we take altitude=0, we see that the value of the pressure is 14 pounds per square inch.

As the altitude approaches sea level, the atmospheric pressure increases.  --> true

As the altitude approaches sea level (so, going towards left in the graph), we see that the value of the pressure increases.

The atmospheric pressure gets close to 14 pounds per square foot as the altitude continues to increase. --> false

The pressure is 14 pounds per square inch only when the altitude is 0 miles above sea level.
