In 1-2 sentence, describe what types of function can be used to describe each part of the following situation. You jumped form a high ledge into a pool of water, then swam to the other side of the pool, and climed 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.

The function for the height of the jump can be modeled by a quadratic function, the function for swimming to the other side can be modeled by a linear function, and the function for climbing up the ladder can be modeled by a constant function.
Anything else to add?
Additionally, the function describing the height around the surface of the pool water may involve multiple parts representing the different actions of jumping, swimming, and climbing.
