Describe a sporting situation that has quadratic characteristics. Use key terms such as maximum or minimum, starting or ending points(ordered pairs), shape, vertex, etc. to explain why the situation could be considered to have quadratic characteristics. A complete response must have a minimum of 3 sentences and must address all of the above key terms.
If someone could please help me with this, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance, Heaven😀
A sporting situation that exhibits quadratic characteristics is a soccer player taking a penalty kick. The trajectory of the ball after being struck by the player can be modeled by a quadratic equation. The starting point would be the moment the ball leaves the player's foot, creating an ordered pair on the coordinate plane. The shape of the trajectory would resemble a curve with a vertex, representing the highest point the ball reaches during flight. The maximum point of the curve would occur at the vertex, indicating the maximum height the ball reaches before descending towards the goal.
