Question

A parabola is graphed on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from negative 2 to 10 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from negative 8 to 3 in increments of 1.

A sports analyst graphed the trajectory of a soccer ball that was kicked by a goalkeeper. In the graph, x is the ball’s distance from the goalpost, and y is the height of the ball in meters. What is the maximum height that the kicked ball reached?

(1 point)
The maximum height of the kicked ball was
meters.

Answer 1

To determine the maximum height that the kicked ball reached from the parabola graph, you would typically look for the vertex of the parabola, as this point represents the maximum height in a downward-opening parabola (which is typical for projectile motion).

However, without the image or specific coordinates provided, I can't give you an exact numerical answer. You will need to look at the vertex of the parabola on the graph to find the maximum height.

Please check the graph for the highest point (the vertex of the parabola) to find the maximum height that the kicked ball reached. The answer should be denoted in meters as indicated.
