Cassandra is swimming with a dolphin in the Gulf of Mexico. At one point, the dolphin leaps from the water rather close to her and dives back in. Cassandra, having recently completed her Grade 11 Foundations of College Mathematics course, decides to sketch the position of the dolphin's jump on a grid, with her position at the origin, the x-axis representing the dolphin's position horizontal to her and the y-axis representing the dolphin's vertical position. All measurements are in metres. [T6] a. Identify the x-intercepts of the parabola. State what they mean in the context of this situation. [Hint: consider the x-axis to be the surface of the water
