Question
A platform diver follows a path determined by the equation h = −0.5d^2 + 2d + 6, where h represents
the height of the diver above the water and d represents the distance from the diving board. Both pronumerals are measured in metres.
Use the graph to determine:
a. how far the diver landed from the edge of the diving board
b. how high the diving board is above the water.

so, did you make the graph?
(a) where does h=0? The value of d there is how far she went
(b) find the vertex of the parabola.
