In a football game, Quick Release throws the ball 6 feet above the ground and the receiver catches it 6 feet
above the ground. The ball reaches a maximum height
of 16 feet above the ground halfway to the receiver.
(See diagram below)
height
a. Use this information given to draw the parabola on a
graph. Describe 1 point any any observation of the
graph. 5 points

Briefly talk about the 2 areas of application of quadratic functions.

b. Write an algebraic function that models the path of the football. Show all your work and explain your reasoning.

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.

11.2

step-by-step explanation:

when doing tangent the tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side from the angle over the adjacent side to the angle.

tan43 = x / 12

move 12 over by multiplying each side by 12

12tan43 = x

x = about 11.2

e^-kt = n/n0 = 0.79  

-kt = ln 0.79  

t = - ln 0.79/0.0001  

= 2357 years
