Question

You shoot an arrow at a Target. The parabolic path of your arrow passes through the points shown in the table. X represents the distance of the arrow from you and y represents the height of the arrow. Based on this data answer the following questions and explain. y=30,60,100 and x=6,7,4

a. Find a quadratic function in standard form that modelsthe path of your arrow. Hint: the 3 points are (x,y)-values that satisfy y=ax^2 + bx + c

the function in standard form I believe is
y=-13x^2/8400 + 29x/168 + 31/14

Answer 1

I need help with the last 4 questions

b) If the y-value represents height above the ground, for what value of x would your arrow hit the ground if you miss the target?

c) If the target bull's eye is at x=100, at which heigh should the bull's eye be fore the arrow to hit it?

d0 If the target bull's eye is at height y=2.98, at what value of x should the bull's eye be fore the arrow to hit it?
