Concept explainers
To find: The quadratic function
The model for the flight path is
Given information:
The flying fish reaches a maximum height of 5 feet after flying for a horizontal distance of 33 feet.
Concept used:
Vertex form a quadratic function is given as
The vertex of the quadratic function represents the maximum/minimum point of the function.
If
Calculation:
Since flying fish reaches a maximum height of 5 feet after flying for a horizontal distance of 33 feet, the vertex of the quadratic function followed by the flying will be
The quadratic function with vertex at
Since the flying fish leaves the water level at the point
