Evan tosses a ball from the roof of a building. The path of the ball can be modelled by the following equations where h represents the height of the ball in meters and
t represents the time in seconds. Each equation below represents the EXACT same
path. Using the information you can obtain from these equations, answer the
following questions.
nu = -4(t + 1)(t-5)
h2 = -4/t - 2)2 + 36
hz = -4t? + 16 + 20
Draw a detailed SKETCH representing the path of the ball. Be sure to include titles
for your axes, appropriate scales, and critical points such as initial value, vertex and
roots of the parabola.

Please find attached sketch of the path of the ball, having plot area and plot points, created with MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

Question;

The equation representing the path of the ball obtained from a similar question posted online are;

h₁ = -4·(t + 1)·(t - 5), h₂ = -4·(t - 2)² + 36, h₃ = -4··t² + 16·t + 20

The above equations represent the same path

The equation, h₁ = -4·(t + 1)·(t - 5), gives the roots of the height function, h(t), used in determining the height of the ball after time t

At (t + 1) = 0 (t = -1) or at (t - 5) = 0 (t = 5), the ball is at ground level

The ball reaches the ground, is at ground level at t = 1, and at t = 5 seconds after being tossed, where h(t) = 0

The equation of the path of the ball in vertex form, y = a·(x - 2)² + k, is h₂ = -4·(t - 2)² + 36, where, by comparison, we have;

The vertex of the ball = The maximum height reached by the ball  = (h, k) = (2, 36)

The coefficient of the quadratic term, t², is negative, therefore, the shape of the parabola is upside down, ∩, shape

The sketch of the path of the ball created with MS Excel, used in plotting the vertex, the initial value and the root points of the parabola, through which the ball passes and joining of the points with a 'smooth' curve is attached
