<p>A child kicks a soccer ball so that it barely clears a <code class='latex inline'>2 m</code> fence. The soccer ball lands 3 m from the fence. Determine the equation, in vertex form, of a quadratic relation that models the path of the ball.</p>
Similar Question 2
<p>The Lion’s Gate Bridge in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a suspension bridge that spans a distance of 1516 m. Large cables are attached to the tops of the towers, 50 m above the road. The road is suspended from the large cables by many smaller vertical cables. The smallest vertical cable measures about 2 m. Use this information to determine a quadratic model for the large cables.</p>

<p>The owner of a small clothing company wants to create a mathematical model for the company’s daily profit, pp, in dollars. based on the selling price, dd, in dollars, of the dresses made. The owner has noticed that the maximum daily profit the company has made is $1600. This occurred when the dresses were sold for$75 each. The owner also noticed that selling the dresses for $50 resulted in a profit of$1225. Using a quadratic relation to model this problem, create an equation for the company’s daily profit.</p>
<p>A model rocket is launched from the ground. After 20 s, the rocket reaches a maximum height of 2000 m. It lands on the ground after 40 s. </p><p>Explain how you could determine the equation of the relationship between the height of the rocket and time using two different strategies.</p>
