Help, please. (〃・ω・〃) A video game producer is using the quadratic function f(x) = 4 – x2 to model the path of an arrow shot by a game player. The path of the arrow is shown in the graph below. The point (2, 3) represents the top of the castle wall. http://prntscr.com/37xtxb If the player moves so that the arrow will clear the wall at the maximum height, what is the new function that the game producer would need to use? Use complete sentences and explain your work.

hmmm... I'm not too sure, but I suppose your choices would be to either move the vertex up or to widen the slope?
I am not too sure how to do that...
mmm do you understand that 4 - x^2 means that it's y intercept is 4 and it is facing down because of the - flips the parent graph of x^2
(o-o) You know, I think I should actually read the lesson. Thanks for helping me, though, I appreciate it. :) If I have any questions like to clarify, I will ask you. Thank you and have a nice night. ;D And sorry I didn't understand anything. (/)v(\)
