A college basketball team had a photographer take time-lapsed photos of a free throw to get measurements for the distance from the free throw line and the height of the basketball during the free throw. The following measurements were recorded from the photos: Distance (feet) Height (feet) 0 4 2 8.4 6 12.1 9 14.2 12 13.2 13 10.5 15 9.8 a. Find the quadratic equation for the relationship of the horizontal distance and the height of the ball. Round to decimal places. b. Using this function what is the approximate maximum height of the ball?
