Question

A golfer hit a golf ball from a tee box that is 6 yards above the ground. The graph shows the height in yards of the golf ball above the ground as a quadratic function of
"x"
x

, the horizontal distance in yards of the golf ball from the tee box.

What is the domain of the function for this situation?

0≤x≤230
6≤y36
0≤y≤36
6≤x≤230

Answer 1

The domain of the function for this situation is 0≤x≤230. This means that the horizontal distance of the golf ball from the tee box ranges from 0 to 230 yards, which is the maximum distance the ball can travel on a golf course.
