Question:

You throw a ball straight up from a rooftop. The ball misses the rooftop on its way down and eventually strikes the ground. A mathematical model can be used to describe the relationship for the ball’s height above the ground, y, after x seconds. Consider the following data:image


a. Find the quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c whose graph passes through the given points.


b. Use the function in part (a) to find the value for y when x = 5. Describe what this means.

Transcribed Image Text:

x, seconds after the ball is thrown 1 3 4 y, ball's height, in feet, above the ground 224 176 104
