In a pool at an aquarium, a dolphin jumps out of the water travelling at 20 cm per second. Its height above water level after t seconds is given by h=20t - 16t2.
Based on the above, answer the following questions :
(i) Find zeroes of polynomial p(t) = 20t -16 t2
(ii) Which of the following types of graph represents p(t) ?
(iii) (a) What would be the value of h at t=3/2? Interpret the result.
OR
(iii) (b) How much distance has the dolphin covered before hitting the water level again?
