A diver launches herself off a springboard. The height of the diver, in meters, above the pool t seconds after launch can be modelled by the following function: , t≥0
a) How high is the springboard above the water?
b) Use the model to find the time at which the diver hits the water.
c) Rearrange h(t) into the form A-B(t-C)^2 and give the values of the constants A, B and C.
d) Using your answer to part c or otherwise, find the maximum height of the diver, and the time at which this maximum height is reached.
