The height y in feet of a ball thrown by a child is 1 x 2x 3 y 12 where x is the horizontal distance in feet from the point at which the ball is thrown a How high is the ball when it leaves the child s hand b What is the maximum height of the ball c How far from the child does the ball strike the ground Round your answers to the nearest 0 01 feet 6H You are working with a quadratic equation and construct the following graph 5 4 3 2 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 23 4 Identify the vertex of the parabola Remember that the vertex is a point 6 7 8 Identify the y intercept of the parabola Remember that the y intercept is a point feet and feet Identify the x intercepts Remember that the x intercepts represent points on the graph Write an equation for the axis of symmetry Given the x intercepts above write an equation for the parabola in factored form y Hint Think about the zero product property
