Answer: The maximum depth that he will reach is -125 meters.

The first thing you should realize is that this is a quadratic equation and the graph will be a parabola.

We can simply the equation to:

y = (1/20)x^2 - 5x

Now, use -b/2a to find the x-value of the vertex which is 50. Then, input 50 back into the equation to get -125 for the maximum depth.

Answer:

-125 meters.

Step by step explanation:  

We have been given that Guillermo is a professional deep water free diver. his altitude (in meters relative to sea level), x seconds after diving, is modeled by g(x)=\frac{1}{20}x(x-100).

We have been given a quadratic function and the minimum value will occur at vertex.

First of all we will write it in standard quadratic form by using distribution property.

\frac{x^{2}}{20}-\frac{100x}{20}

\frac{x^{2}}{20}-5x  

Now we will find vertex of our parabola using x=\frac{-b}{2a}

x=\frac{-(-5)}{2(\frac{1}{20})}

x=\frac{5}{(\frac{2}{20})}

x=\frac{5\times20}{2}

x=5\times10

x=50

Now let us substitute x=50 in our quadratic function to find lowest altitude of Guilermo.  

g(50)=\frac{50^{2}}{20}-5\times 50

g(50)=\frac{2500}{20}-250

g(50)=125-250

g(50)=-125

Therefore, the lowest altitude Guilermo will reach is -125 meters.
