A parabola is a mirror-symmetrical planar curve that is nearly U-shaped. The highest the ball has travelled is 138 feet.
What is an equation of a parabola?
A parabola is a mirror-symmetrical planar curve that is nearly U-shaped.
y = a(x-h)² + k
where,
(h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola in form (x, y);
a defines how narrower the parabola is, and the "-" or "+" that the parabola will open up or down.
A.) In the given quadratic equation, the vertex of the equation is y=-0.003(x-210)² + 138 is (210,138).
B.) Since the vertex is the highest point, therefore, The highest the ball has travelled is 138 feet.
The complete question is,
Vladimir hit a home run at the ballpark. A computer tracked the ball's trajectory in feet and modelled its flight path as a parabola with the equation, y = -0.003(x – 210)2 + 138. Use the equation to complete the statements describing the
path of the ball.
The vertex of the parabola is ?
The highest the ball travelled was? Feet
