- Height of a basketball The path of a basketball thrown from the free throw line can be modeled by the quadratic function f(x)=0.06x2+1.5x+6, where x is the horizontal distance in feet from the free throw line and f(x) is the height in feet of the ball. Find the maximum height of the basketball.arrow_forwardA path of a toy rocket thrown upward from the ground at a rate of 208 ft/sec is modeled by the quadratic function of. h(x)=16t2+208t.
