Part 1: Hitting a golf ball into a tower ? While on the golf course last weekend Marc: hit into the rough, landing the ball behind a tall tree' To get out of the scenario, his best option was to hit the ball high enough so it goes over the tree and hopefully comes down in the fairway for his next shot. 50 with a mighty swing , he hit the ball into the air and was surprised to see it hit near the top of a 300 foot tall tower that he had not noticed. The formula for this shotis h-X.':15X2+120X ,wherehis the height of the ball and xis the number of seconds the ball is in the air. A. How could Marc mathematically try to prove that he hit the ball near the top ofthe tower? B. How high did Marc actually hit the ball? ls Marc able to mathematically back up how high he says he hit the ball ? Part 2: Hitting the green in one shot! Later during that same golf outing Marc decided to show off by trying to hit the green in one shot. He said he hit the green as the ball hung in the air for at least 15 seconds The formula for this shot is h Ix : 16 x2+ 248x A. How can Marc provide proof that his shot actually hung in the air for 15 seconds? B. How long did the ball actually hang in the air? ls Marc able to mathematically back up how long he says the ball was in the air
