The next part of a video game models a biker jumping off a ramp at a motocross event. The can be modeled by the relation , where h is the height above the ground biker’s path biker’s and d is the horizontal distance from the end of the ramp, both in meters. biker’s What is the initial height above the ground (when d = 0)? (2) biker’s What is the vertex of the parabola? What information do the coordinates of the vertex give about the position? (4) biker’s Sketch a graph of the path. (2) biker’s A basketball was thrown upward. The path is given by the relation basketball’s , where h is the height above the ground and d is the horizontal basketball’s basketball’s distance from where it was thrown, both in meters. What was the initial height above the ground? (2) basketball’s What was the greatest height above the ground? What was the basketball’s basketball’s horizontal distance at this point? (2) The basketball was thrown toward a net 6 m away and 3 m above the ground. Will the basketball go through the net? Justify your answer. (3)
