Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A <u>helix</u> is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).
The parametrization for the helix is
where 
is the radius of the helix, 
is the constant, and 
is the parameter
Answer:
4 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a quadratic equation in which the coefficient of 
is negative, the parabola opens up and has a maximum point. This maximum point occurs at the line of symmetry.
Since the divers height, y is modeled by the equation
Step 1: Determine the equation of symmetry
In the equation above, a=-1, b=2, c=3
Equation of symmetry, 
Step 2: Find the value of y at the point of symmetry
That is, we substitute x obtained above into the y and solve.
The maximum height of the diver is therefore 4 meters.
