Concept explainers
A gymnast dismounts the uneven parallel bars at a height of 8 feet with an upward velocity of 8 feet per second. The function
Describes the height of the gymnast’s feet above the ground, s (t), in feet, t seconds after dismounting. The graph of the function is shown, with unlabeled tick marks along the horizontal axis. Use the function to solve Exercises 65 – 66.
How long will it take the gymnast to reach the ground? Use this information to provide a number on each tick mark along the horizontal axis in the figure shown.
