Question 1000515: Suppose you throw a ball over a 10-ft fence. Barely clearing the fence, the ball reaches its highest point directly above the fence and lands 10 ft from the fence. Using the fence as the axis of symmetry, write a quadratic function that models the ball’s height. Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parabola shape, opening downward so the vertex is a maximum, at (0,10). Using behind the fence at ground level to be a zero then other side of fence where ball lands is the other zero. These are (-10,0) and (10,0).
The function would be , and use the vertex to find the factor, a.
