The quadratic equation is y = -0.15x² + 2x + 5.5 , Option D is the correct answer.
The complete question is
If a person who is 5.5 feet tall throws a baseball into the air, the path can be modelled using the table of values, where x represents the time in seconds and y is the height of the ball in feet.
(table is in the photo below)
Which quadratic equation models the data in the table?
y= −0.25x2 + 2x + 5.5
y= −0.35x2 + 2x + 5.5
y= −0.27x2 + 3x + 5.5
y= −0.15x2 + 2x + 5.5
The quadratic equation represented by the table is y = -0.15x² + 2x + 5.5
<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>
When two algebraic expressions are linked with an equal sign , the expression formed is called an Equation.
The standard form of the Quadratic equation is
y = ax² + bx + c
here a, b and c are constants.
From the given data in the table
at point (0, 5.5)
5.5 = a(0)² + b(0) + c
at point (1, 7.35)
7.35 = a(1)² + b(1) + c
at point (2, 8.9)
8.9 = a(2)² + b(2) + c
The system of equations will be solved to determine the value of a,b and c
a= -0.15, b = 2, c = 5.5
Therefore , The quadratic equation is y = -0.15x² + 2x + 5.5 .
