Expert Solution
Step 1

Let t denote time and ht denote the height with respect to time t.

 

(a) what is the minimum of this graph and what does it represent?

 

The minimum point of this graph is the value of ht such that derivative h't is zero. From, the graph it is clear that the minimum of this graph is h3 at t=3, here 0<h3<20.

h3 is the lowest value of height in a bungee jump.

 

 

(b) What is the y-intercept of the graph? What does it represent?

 

y-intercept of this graph lies between 180<ht<200. This is the point where a person in a bungee jump, jumps from.

From the graph, y-intercept is at ht=190.
