Question

a skydiver jumps out of a plane from a certain height. the graph below shows their height h in feet after t seconds. what is the skydivers initial height?\
(graph with points (0, 12544) and (28, 0) plotting height vs time)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand initial time

Initial time is \( t = 0 \) seconds (when the skydiver jumps).

Step2: Find height at \( t = 0 \)

From the graph, the point at \( t = 0 \) is \( (0, 12544) \), where the \( y \)-coordinate (height \( h \)) is 12544 feet.

Answer:

The skydiver's initial height is 12544 feet.
