If a diver starts out 96 feet in the air, what is the maximum height he will be at with the formula, 16t² - 16t + 96

Answer 1

If your formula is correct, then the diver will have infinite height as time continues to increase since the parabola approaches infinity with increasing time!

If gravity is to be followed in this dive, then the leading coefficient should be negative since the acceleration of gravity is negative.
