Practice problem
Solve a Linear-Quadratic System by Graphing
Solve by graphing: Sarah went on a cruise during summer vacation. During the cruise, the ship stopped on a shore so the passengers could spend time on the beach. While on the beach Sarah saw a dolphin jump out of the water and dive into a wave. The dolphin's dive followed a parabolic path with the equation The wave follows a linear path with the equation If we represent the scenario graphically, at what point does the dolphin reach the wave?
