Question 1190515: Chris is a competitive swimmer. From experience, he knows that the function
g(t) will represent his height above the water when he dives off of the regular 4-foot-high diving platform, where t is the number of seconds after he jumps off of the platform. This function works when t≥0 (up until he hits the water).
This reminded Chris of another time when he was distracted, and jumped off the 30-foot super-high-dive platform two seconds before the starting signal.
Write an expression (using the function g) that will model Chris's height above the water, where t is the number of seconds after the starting signal.

makes me laugh. It reminded/recalled me one anecdotal story about the medicine tablets against headache.
The inscription on the bottle with the tablets contained this instruction:
" Take one tablet 15 minutes before headache ".
