Question

An archer releases an arrow from a shoulder height of 1.39 m. When
the arrow hits the target 18 m away, it hits point A. When the target is
removed, the arrow lands 45 m away. Find the maximum height of the
arrow along its parabolic path.

Answer 1

bullseye is 8cm wide, other points are 4cm wide

Answer 7

i want to know how to do it lol

Answer 8

the parabola is defined by the equation:

y = f(x) = ax² + bx + c

...where a, b, and c are constant coefficients to be determined. You are given three points:

f(0) = 1.39
f(18) = h ... (height of point A) ... I suspect there's a figure you're not showing us
f(45) = 0

Answer 9

You need that height h to solve the problem.

Answer 10

It will give you 3 equations and 3 unknowns.
