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.
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.
