The figure given alongside shows the path of a diver, when she takes a jump from the diving board. Clearly it is a parabola. Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above the water level at any time‘t’ in seconds is given by the polynomial
h(t) such that h(t) = −16t2 + 8t + k.
Question 41
What is the value of k?
(a) 0 (b) −48 (c) 48 (d) 48/(-16)
