The function in vertex form is
Given:
The path of a ball thrown by a softball player can be modeled by the function
Calculation:
Rewrite the function
b.
To make: A Table of values for the function. Include values of
A table is as follows.
Given:
The path of a ball thrown by a softball player can be modeled by the function
Calculation:
Table is as follows.
c.
To draw: A graph and to find the maximum height of the softball.
The maximum height of the softball is
Given:
The path of a ball thrown by a softball player can be modeled by the function
Calculation:
Points can be plotted as follows.
Because the vertex form of the given model is
The maximum height of the softball is the
Hence, the maximum height of the softball is
To find how far the softball travels we have to twice the value of the
Hence, the softball travels
