A baseball player tries to hit a ball over an outfield fence that is 4 m
high and 110 m from home plate. The ball is hit 1 m above home
plate and reaches its highest point 30 m above a point that is 60 m
from home plate.
1) Make a sketch showing the path of the baseball. If home
plate is the origin of a coordinate system, find an equation of
the parabolic flight of the ball
2) Will the ball go over the outfield fence?

From the center of the 20 yard line a football player tries to kick a
field goal by kicking the ball directly at the goal posts which are
30 yards away. The goal post crossbar is 10 feet above the
ground. The ball reaches its highest altitude of 32 feet at a point
48 feet from where it was kicked.
1) Make a sketch showing the path of the football. If the point
from which the ball was kicked is the origin of a coordinate
system, find the equation of the parabolic flight of the ball.
2) Will the kicker make the field goal?

A hauling company needs to determine whether a large house
trailer can be moved along a highway that passes under a bridge
with an opening in the shape of a parabolic arch, 12 m wide at the
base and 6 m high at the center. If the trailer is 9 m wide and 3.2
m tall (measured from the ground to the top of the trailer), will it
fit under the bridge?
