In this scenario, your height relative to the surface of the water can be modeled using piecewise functions. Initially, when you jump, your height can be described by a quadratic function representing the parabolic trajectory of your jump until you hit the water. After entering the water, your height remains at water level (constant height) until you begin swimming, where your height can again be modeled as a constant function. Finally, as you climb the ladder, your height increases linearly over time until you reach the top.
And one or two sentences describe what types of functions can be used to describe each part of the following situation you jump from a high ledge into a pool of water then swam to the other side of the pool and climbed up the ladder at a constant rate to get out of the pool compare your height around the surface of the pool water to the time
