modelling with polynomials and rational functions
4 The height, x metres, of a diver above a swimming pool at time t seconds after he has bounced from the diving board can be modelled by the function x(t)= 3- 3t (3t^2/2)
a How long, in seconds, after he has bounced from the diving board does the diver reach his maximum height? b What is the maximum height reached by the diver, in metres? c After exactly how many seconds does he hit the water? d How deep is the diver half a second after he hits the water, assuming that the model remains valid for this time? Give your answer to the nearest centimetre. i really need help with part d. i don't understand the question. could someone please help me? thank you |
