To find: The jumping height of the mouse on a parabolic path.
The mouse cannot jump over a fence of 3 feet high.
Given data: The equation of the quadratic function representing the inverted parabola given is
Method/Formula used:
The graph of the parabolic path is drawn using graphing utility. The y-cordinate of the vertex of inverted parabola gives the maximum height on the parabola.
Calculation:
The graph of the parabolic path is shown in Fig (1). The vetrex of the graph is
That the maximum height a mouse can jump is 2.113 ft. Hence, the mouse cannot jump over a fence of 3 feet high.
