##### Problem 1

1) The height of a diver above the water, is given by ﻿$h(t)=-5t^2 +10t+3$﻿, where ﻿$t$﻿ is time measured in seconds and ﻿$h(t)$﻿ is measured in meters. Select ﻿$\textbf{all}$﻿ statements that are true about the situation. Write each corresponding letter in the answer box and separate letters with commas.

a) The diver begins 5 meters above the water.

b) The diver begins 3 meters above the water.

c) The function has 1 zero that makes sense in this situation.

d) The function has 2 zeros that make sense in this situation.

e) The graph that represents ﻿$h$﻿ starts at the origin and curves upward.

f) The diver begins at the same height as the water level.

##### Problem 2

The height of a baseball, in feet, is modeled by the function ﻿$h$﻿ given by the equation ﻿$h(t)=3+60t-16t^2$﻿. The graph of the function is shown.

2) About when does the baseball reach its maximum height?

##### Problem 3

Two rocks are launched straight up in the air. The height of Rock A is given by the function ﻿$f$﻿, where ﻿$f(t) = 4 + 30t - 16t^2$﻿. The height of Rock B is given by ﻿$g$﻿, where ﻿$g(t) = 5 + 20t - 16t^2$﻿. In both functions, ﻿$t$﻿ is time measured in seconds and height is measured in feet.

5) Determine which rock hits the ground first.
