Question

A solid parabola labeled b left parenthesis s right parenthesis and a dotted line labeled h left parenthesis s right parenthesis intersect on a coordinate plane.

A ball is being shot at a moving hoop. The curved line labeled b(s)
maps the path of the ball and the line labeled h(s)
maps the path of the hoop. How long does it take for the ball to go down through the hoop to the nearest second?

Answer 1

Based on your description of the image and the paths of the ball and the hoop, I can't directly see the diagram to provide an accurate answer. However, if the task is to determine how long it takes for the ball to pass through the hoop based on their intersection, you would typically look at the coordinates or values represented where the solid parabola intersects the dotted line.

If you can provide more information or specific values from the image (like the coordinates of intersection points or equations of the curves), I might be able to help you more accurately!

Without that, I suggest you check for the intersection point values or whether any given options include timing based on those values, allowing you to answer accurately.
