The picture above, would be use to teach different an application of quadratic functions as well as using vectors and velocity. We can find the height of the diver when given the time. We can also solve the maximum velocity a diver can reach. In addition we can find how much time in seconds it takes for a diver to reach the water. All these problems, require a vector diagram which can be interpreted using trigonometry.
