Stella is competing in a diving competition. Her height in feet above the water is modeled by the function f(x) = -16x? + 8x + 48, where x is
the time in seconds after she jumps from the diving board. Graph the
function and solve the related equation 0=-16x² + 8x + 48. What do
the solutions mean in the context of the problem? Are there solutions that
do not make sense? Explain.
