She threw a ball 120 ft from right field to make a play at third base.A photographer used strobe photography to follow the path of the ball. The height of the ball (in ft) at 0.2-sec intervals was recorded in the table. Time (sec) t 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 Height (ft) y 5 11 16 19 21 22 21 19 16 12 6 1. Plot the points from the data. 2. Select three data points and label them (t1, y1), (t2, y2), and (t3, y3). (t1, y1) (t2, y2) (t3, y3) Height of Softball Versus Time 0.4 0.8 1.2 1.6 2 2.4 3. Substitute the values of t1 and y1 for t and y in the quadratic model y at2 bt c. The equation you are left with should only have the variables a, b, and c. Call this equation 1. Then repeat this step two more times, using the points (t2, y2) and (t3, y3).You should then be left with three equations involving a, b, and c only. Equation 1: Equation 2: Equation 3: 1t, y2 25 Height (ft) y t Time (sec) 20 15 10 5 0 0
