Question

a football is thrown by a quarterback to a receiver. the points in the figure show the height of the football, in feet, above the ground in terms of its distance, in yards, from the quarterback. use this information to solve the problem. what is the footballs maximum height? what is its distance from the quarterback when it reaches its maximum? the footballs maximum height is feet. (type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Observe the graph

Find the highest - point on the curve representing the football's height.

Step2: Determine the height value

The highest point on the graph has a y - value (height) of 13 feet.

Step3: Determine the distance value

The x - value (distance from the quarterback) at the highest point is 15 yards.

Answer:

The football's maximum height is 13 feet. Its distance from the quarterback when it reaches its maximum is 15 yards.
