Question

In 1 sentences, describe what types of function can be used to describe each part of the following situation. You jumped from a high ledge into a pool of water, then swam to the other side of the pool and climbed up a ladder at a constant rate to get out of the pool. Compare your height around the surface of the pool water to the time. Like a 9th grader

Answer 1

In this situation, your height above the water can be represented by a piecewise function that includes a decreasing function while you fall, a constant function while you are submerged, and an increasing linear function as you climb the ladder.
