• 24 ft

• 25 ft

• 8 ft

• None of the above

A diver is standing on a platform above the pool. He jumps form the platform with an initi8al upward velocity of 8 ft/s. Use the formula h t = −16 t² + 8t + 24, where h is his height above the water, t is the time, v is his starting upward velocity, and s is his starting height. How high is the platform?

• .25 ft

• 24 ft

• 25 ft

• 8 ft
