<h2>Hello!</h2>
The graph is attached.
To graph a parabola we need to know the following:
- If the parabola is open upwards or downwards
- They axis intercepts (if they exist)
- The vertex position (point)
We are given the function:
Where,
For this case, the coefficient of the quadratic term (a) is negative, it means that the parabola opens downwards.
Finding the axis interception points:
Making the function equal to 0, we can find the x-axis (t) intercepts, but since the equation is a function of the time, we will only consider the positive values, so:
Using the quadratic equation:
So, at t=4.0615 the height of the softball will be 0.
Since we will work only with positive values of "x", since we are working with a function of time:
Let's start from "t" equals to 0 to "t" equals to 4.0615.
So, evaluating we have:
Finally, we can conclude that:
- The softball reach its maximum height at t equals to 2. (68 feet)
- The softball hits the ground at t equals to 4.0615 (0 feet)
- At t equals to 0, the height of the softball is equal to 4 feet.

Complete question is;
A park has a 3 meter tall tether ball pole and a 6.8 m tall flagpole. The lengths of their shadows are proportional to their heights.
Which of the following could be the lengths of the shadows?
Choose 2 answers from the options attached.
Answer:
Options B & D
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, the proportional relationship between the height and shadow length is a direct proportionality. This means that an increase in the height, leads to an increase in the length of shadow and vice versa. Thus, the height to shadow length ratio is a constant.
Now, if we use x and y to denote length of shadow of tether ball pole and length of flagpole receptively, we will have;
3/x = 6.8/y
Let's make y the subject.
y = 6.8x/3
Looking at the options;
Option A: When x = 1.35 m, we have;
y = (6.8 × 1.35)/3 = 3.06 m
For Option B:
When x = 1.8 m,
y= (6.8 × 1.8)/3 = 4.08 m
For Option C:
When x= 3.75 m,
y = (6.8 × 3.75)/3 = 8.5 m
For option D:
When x = 0.6
y = (6.8 × 0.6)/3 = 1.36 m
For option E;
When x = 2,
y = (6.8 × 2)/3 = 4.533 m
From our calculations, the only values of y that correspond with the given value of y in the options are Options B & D
