Ana dives into a pool off a springboard high dive. Her height (in meters above the water), x seconds after diving is modeled by h(x)=-5(x+1)(x-3) what is the height of Ana above water at the time of diving?

Her height at the time of diving is 15 m

Answer:

Her height above the water at the time of diving is 15 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function that shows the height of Ana above the water ( in meters ) after diving,

[tex]h(x)=-5(x+1)(x-3)[/tex]

Where, x is the number of seconds after diving,

Since, at the time of diving x = 0,

Hence, the height of her at the time of diving,

[tex]h(0)=-5(0+1)(0-3)[/tex]

[tex]=-5(1)(-3)[/tex]

[tex]=15\text{ meters}[/tex]
