Need help with number 2 Mat115ProjectReal mathematics is about medeling situations that eccur naturally, andusing the model to understand what is happening, or maybe to predict what willhappen in the future.The quadratic equation is often used in modeling. Quadratic functions andapplications are a large part of the mathematics of the world around us. Anygeneral problem involving areas is a quadratic problem. The force of gravity, whichbasically holds the universe as we know it together, can be modeled with a quadraticfunction. The standand form of a quadratic function is y= ax²+bx+c.In this project we are going to model the Ball Toss with a quadratic function. So at 30 cmintervals, we draw 4 vertical lines extending from the eraser tray to the top of the marker board. Wenumber the lines with their distances from the left most vertical line (which serves as the y-axis).Each ofour volunteers selects a line and stand facing it at close proximity to the board. Between the board andthe volunteers, I toss the ball to the catcher. Each of the volunteers will mark the height above theeraser tray at which the ball crosses his/her line. We will measure and label the height from the erasertray to the marks.We have the following data: M(0,23.5); N(30,37.2); P(60,35.8); Q(90,19.3)These data represent a set of ordered pairs or a function. Since this function has an infinite number ofordered pairs, we are going to find an equation that defines this function. So we should use an equationin x and y where x represents the first coordinate and y represents the second coordinate. We shouldcreate a coordinate plane by drawing a horizontal number line called the x-axis, and a vertical line calledthe y-axis.1. In this specific model of ball tossa) What does the x-axis represent?b) What do the x-coordinates represent?C) What do the y-coordinates represent?2. Display your data in the coordinate plane or plot the points using a graph paper (Consider eachsquare 10cm).Make sure you label the axis and the points.3. Draw a smooth curve containing these points.4. What shape does the graph have?5. How does this shape open?6. What kind of function this graph represents?7. Write the standard form of the equation that represents this function.
