Question

12 11 10 8 height (feet) 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 11 time (seconds)Ethan and Claire were standing in the woods near a stream, and each threw a stone up in the air at the same time so that it would land in the water. The graph represents the height of a stone t seconds after it was tossed up by Ethan

.

The function f given by f(t) = -16t2 - 8t + 8 represents the height of a stone t seconds after it was thrown by Claire. In both functions, height is measured in feet.

  1. Whose stone hit the water first? When did that happen?

  1. Claire’s stone reached its maximum height second after it was tossed. Did Claire’s stone reach a higher maximum than Ethan’s stone?

  1. What was the maximum height of Claire's stone?
