  1. The Diver Problem- A Quadratic Function Diving into Quadratics

  2. The Diver Problem • Suppose h(t) = -5t2 + 10t + 3 is an expression giving the height of a diver above the water (in meters), t seconds after the diver leaves the springboard. a. How high above the water is the springboard? Explain how you know.

  3. h(t) = -5t2 + 10t + 3 • When does the diver hit the water? • At what time on the diver’s descent toward the water is the diver at the same height as the springboard?

  4. h(t) = -5t2 + 10t + 3 d. When does the diver reach the peak of the dive?

  5. h(t) = -5t2 + 10t + 3 • Graph the function • Label the vertex, the y-intercept, and the x-intercepts and explain what each represents in the context of this problem

  6. Graph of h(t) = -5t2 + 10t + 3
