A player throws a basketball toward a hoop. The basketball follows a
parabolic path that can be modeled by the equation
y=125x² +2.08x + 4. The table models the parabolic path of another
basketball thrown from somewhere else on the court. If the center of the
hoop is at (12,11), will each ball pass through the hoop?
Will the basketball that follows a parabolic path modeled by y=-.125x² +2.08x + 4 pass through the hoop?
yes
No
Will the other basketball, whose path is modeled by the table, pass through the
hoop?!
Yes
No
