A labrador leaps over a hurdle. The function f(t) represents the height of the Labrador above the ground, in inches, at t seconds:
f(t)=-16t^2 +20t
A foxhound jumps over the same hurdle the table shows the height of the ground g(t), in inches, at t seconds

Time (t) g(t)
0 0
0.4 7.04
0.6 8.64
0.75 9
1.0 8
1.5 0

A) Compare and interpret the maximum of f(t) and g(t)
B) Which function has a greater x-intercept? What do the x-intercepts of the graphs of f(t) and g(t) represent?
C) Determine the y-intercepts of both functions, and explain what this means in the context of the problem.
