12. PARACHUTING Two parachutists jump at the same time from two different planes as part of an aerial show. The
height ℎ1 of the first parachutist in feet after t seconds is modeled by the function ℎ1 = –16𝑡 2 + 5000. The height
ℎ2 of the second parachutist in feet after t seconds is modeled by the function ℎ2 = –16𝑡 2 + 4000.
a. What is the parent function of the two functions given?
b. Describe the transformations needed to obtain the graph of ℎ1 from the parent function.
