Can a Golfer's Shot Be Modeled by a Quadratic Equation?

[QUOTE="Abdullah Qureshi, post: 6783906, member: 722516"] A golfer hits a tee shot into the rough and the ball stops approximately 120 yds from the green. There is a tree located 40 yds from the ball, directly in the path of the shot. The golfer decides to try to hit the ball over the tree. The path of the shot can be modeled by the equation [I]h [/I]= -0.01875[I]x[/I]2 + 2.25[I]x,[/I] where h is the height of the ball and x is the horizontal distance in yards from where the second shot is taken. (6T/I, 2C) i) How tall must the tree be to stop the ball? ii) Does the golfer hit the green with the shot? iii) What is the maximum height of the ball and when does it occur [/QUOTE]
