Question 1071732: I need to find an equation with a vertex of (10,10), and roots of 0 and 20. When I use the roots to find the equation, I get x(x-20) giving me x^2-20x. However, this does not have a vertex of (10,10). Using vertex form, I can find y=-10x^2+200x-990 but this does not have roots of 0 and 20. After playing around on a graph, I found out that the graph is -1/10x^2+2x. However, how do I get to this equation.

Question 1072376: After a baseball is hit, there are two equations that can be considered. One gives the height, hopefully (in feet), the ball is above the ground t seconds after it is hit. The second is the distance, so (in feet), the ball is from home plate t seconds after it is hit. A model of this situation is given by: h=-16t^2+70t+4 and s=44.5t.
Using this model, determine whether the ball will clear a fence which is 15 feet tall and is located 325 feet from home plate.
