At a swim meet, Janet dives from a diving board that is 48 feet high. Her position above the water is represented by the equation h(t) = -16t²+24t+40, where t represents time in seconds and h(t) represents height in feet. After how many seconds does Janet enter the water? (Hint: Height above water would equal zero)
t= -1 seconds t= 5/2 seconds
Positive value would be the answer.
