The path of a flying fish as it made its approach to the surface of the ocean and flew out of the water is represented by the quadratic function h(t) = -t2 + 6t - 5, where t represents the time, in seconds, and h(t) represents the fish's height and depth, in feet. graph the function using the graphing calculator. to the nearest second, how long was the fish out of the water? 1 second 3 seconds 4 seconds 5 seconds

4 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the path of a flying fish as it made its approach to the surface of the ocean and flew out of the water is represented by the quadratic function , where t represents the time, in seconds, and h(t) represents the fish's height and depth, in feet.

Now question says to graph the function using the graphing calculator. I'm using desmos calculator. There I just need to type the equation and it will automatically create the graph.

Now we need to find about how long was the fish out of the water.

From graph we see that fish is Out of the water between points A and B.

So we just need to find the difference between both points along x-axis.

which is 5-1=4

Hence final answer is 4 seconds.

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is equal to the rise/run. in this case the line rises 2 units for every +3 units it moves
