A scuba divér is on a boat. The diver jumps off the boat and begins-to-swim-under-the-water-and- then-comes-
back towards the surface. He stops moving when he
comes back to the surface and waits for someone to
pick him up. The graph shows the path of the diver where
x is the distance from the boat and y is the height the
diver is from the surface of the water.
a. What is the minimum height the diver reaches?
b. What form of equation would show the minimum
height? Write the equation.
C. How far away from the boat did the diver hit the
water and when did he come back to the surface?
d. What form of equation would show when he hit
the water and came back up to the water? Write
the equation.
e. How high was the diver when he jumped from the
boat? Write an'equation that would show this.
