The surface descended between 12 and 15 seconds
At the beginning, the surface height was 30 centimeters
The water was at the crest after 6 seconds

Answer 1

The surface descended between 12 and 15 seconds - Increasing or decreasing interval
At the beginning, the surface height was 30 centimeters - y-intercept
The water was at the crest after 6 seconds - Relative minimum or maximum
