Afountain shoots water into the air. the graph shows a water droplet's height y in feet x seconds after it is shot from the fountain.

what does the x- intercept of 6 represent?

• it takes 6 s for a water droplet to rise and fall back to the ground

• a water droplet reaches its maximum height after 6 s

• the water fountain shoots water from a height of 6 ft.

• a water droplet reaches a maximum height of 6 ft.

A water droplet reaches it's maximum height after 6 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The water fountain shoots water from a height of 6 ft.

Step-by-step explanation: When looking at a Quadratic Function on a graph it looks like a U (this one would be a upside down U).  The top of that U is the Vertex. (keep in mind the question revolves around the X-Intersect)

A water droplet reaches its maximum height after 6 s IS WRONG

Talking about the VERTEX

It takes 6 s for a water droplet to rise and fall back to the ground IS WRONG

This is talking about the WHOLE Parabola

A water droplet reaches a maximum height of 6 ft. IS WRONG

This is also talking about the VERTEX
