Q26. In the figure shows the path of a diver, when she takes a jump from the diving board. Clearly,
it is a parabola. Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water level. She took a dive
into the pool. Her height(in feet) above the water level at any time ‘t’ in seconds is given by the
polynomial h(t) such that h(t) = – 16t2 + 8t + k.

i) what is the value of k?

ii) At what time will she touch the water in the pool?
iii) Rita’s height (in feet) above the water level is given by another polynomial p(t) with zeroes -1 and
2. Then, find the polynomial.
