Basic MathPart 3: Hitting the baseball over the lights
Meanwhile at the ballpark Juan was
practicing his hitting while talking to the
girls standing around watching. He started
telling them how he hit the ball over the 50
foot light tower yesterday. The girls were
unsure that he really did that.
The formula for this hit is:
h(x) = -16x² + 60x+4 where h is the
height of the ball and xis the number of
seconds the ball is in the air.
