Answer 1

Answer:

Since $f(25\,ft) < 8\,ft$, then we conclude that it will be a goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the trajectory of the ball be represented by $f(x) = -0.05\cdot (x-16)^{2}+11$, where $x$ is the horizontal distance of the ball from origin, in feet, and $f(x)$ is the height of the ball above ground, in feet.

If Deshawn does not block Chris's shot, then we should check if shot will be a goal and this condition must be fulfilled:

$f(25\,ft) < 8\,ft$ (1)

If we know that $x = 25\,ft$, then the height of the ball at the start of the goal is:

$f(x) = -0.05\cdot (x-16)^{2}+11$ (2)

$f(x) = 6.95\,ft$

Since $f(25\,ft) < 8\,ft$, then we conclude that it will be a goal.
