Question 1055156: The model y = -x^2 + 2x + 27 describes the height (y, in meters) of a diver (after x seconds) who jumps from a cliff that is 27 meters above the water. Will the diver ever reach a height of 29 meters? What is the maximum height the diver reached at 1 second? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! f(x)= -x^2 + 2x + 27
x = (-b/(2a) max point of the parabola
x = 1, time of maximum height
f(1) = 28m, maximum height
Will the diver ever reach a height of 29 meters? NO
