the path of a cliff diver as he dives into a lake is given by the equation y=-(x-10)power of 2 + 75...where y meters is the divers height above the water and x metres is the horizontal distance travelled by the diver. what is the maximum height the diver is above the water?

Answer 1

y = -(10-x)^2+75
This is just a parabola with vertex at (10,75)

So, the max height is 75 meters
