Question

The function f(x)=-x^2-9x+10 shows the relationship between the vertical distance of a diver from a pool's surface f(x), in feet, and the horizontal distance x, in feet, of a diver from the diving board. What is a zero of f(x), and what does it represent?

Answer 1

A. x = 1; the diver jumps in the pool at 1 foot per second
B. x = 10; the diver jumps in the pool at 10 feet per second
C. x= 1; the diver hits the water 1 foot away horizontally from the board
D. x = 10; the diver hits the water 10 feet away horizontally from the board.
