The path of a diver diving off a 10-foot platform can be represented by the function h(x) = - 0.5(x^2 - 4x - 21) where h is the diver's height above water and x is the horizontal distance from the platform (in feet). What does the positive zero represent?

Graph the equation by plotting point x=2

Consider that lines b and c are parallel. what is the value of x? what is the measure of the smaller angle?

The position of a moving particle is given by the position function: f(t)=-9t-t^2-0.2t^3+0.1t^4 a. at what time does the particle reverse direction? b. when is the displacement positive? (round one decimal place and answer in interval notation) c. when is the displacement negative? (round one decimal place and answer in interval notation) d. when is the particle’s acceleration positive? (round one decimal place and answer in interval notation) e. when is the particle’s acceleration negative? (round one decimal place and answer in interval notation)
