Question 1036277: A diver jumps off a 45 foot cliff modeled by the equation h = 16t^2 + 25. Before she can hit the water a bird hiding on a lower ledge begins to fly. If the birds movement is modeled by the equation h = -3t + 12, will the diver hit the bird on her way down.
a. graph the system and label the points of intersection.
b. describe the points of intersection in context of the problem. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A diver jumps off a 45 foot cliff modeled by the equation h = 16t^2 + 25.
----------
h increases with time.
She'll never hit the water.
