Question 1129023: A cliff diver’s height above the water, in
meters, is modeled by the function
ℎ(𝑑) = −𝑑^2 + 2𝑑 + 24, where d represents
how far the diver is from the cliff. How far
from the cliff will the diver be when she
reaches the water?
A. 0 meters
B. 4 meters
C. 6 meters
D. 24 meters

The maximum height, is where
the diver starts. This is the vertex of a parabola
--------------------
Find
C. 6 meters is the answer I get.
Here's the plot:
The diver has to start at . It looks like the
diver then jumps up 1 meter to 25 m above the water
and hits the water 6 m form the cliff.
