1. A motorcycle stunt rider jumped across the Snake River, starting from a bluff overlooking the river and landing on a level with the river. The path of her motorcycle was given approximately by the function H(d) = -0.0003d² +2.19d + 400, where H is measured in feet above the river and d is the horizontal distance from the launch ramp, in feet. a. Sketch and label a picture of the rider's path. b. How high above the river was the launch ramp? c. What was the rider's maximum height above the river, and how far was the rider from the ramp (horizontally) when she reached the maximum height?
