Write an equation to represent the typical path of the practice ball.
Draw a sketch of the football's projection to visualize the parabola.
Recall the graphing form for a parabola:
At the big game, the football was underinflated, and the quarterback was throwing an average of
yards with the ball reaching a height of yards. Write an equation representing the typical path of the underinflated ball. See hints from part (a).
