### Cliff Diver Plunge Problem A cliff diver plunges from a height of 36 ft above the water surface. The distance the diver falls in \( t \) seconds is given by the function \( d(t) = 16t^2 \) ft. #### Question 1: Time to Hit the Water Which equation can be solved for \( t \) to find the time (in seconds) when the diver hits the water? - \( 16t^2 - 36 = 36 \) - \( 16t^2 + 36 = -36 \) - \( 16t^2 = 0 \) - \( 16t^2 = 36 \) - \( 16t^2 + 36 = 0 \) After how many seconds will the diver hit the water? \[ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{s} \] #### Question 2: Velocity of the Diver at Impact Given that the velocity of the diver at time \( t = a \) is given by \[ \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{d(a + h) - d(a)}{h}, \] what value of \( a \) (in seconds) should be used to calculate the velocity of the diver when they hit the water? \[ a = \_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{s} \] #### Question 3: Distance Fallen by the Diver Determine the value of \( d(a) \) (in ft) when the diver hits the water. \[ d(a) = \_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{ft} \] #### Question 4: Impact Velocity of the Diver With what velocity (in ft/s) does the diver hit the water? \[ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{ft/s} \] --- The image contains a step-by-step problem regarding a cliff diver jumping into the water, illustrating questions that involve solving for time, velocity at impact, and the application of derivatives to determine these values.
