- Compare and contrast the graphs of y=x2 and y=2x.arrow_forwardThe path of a ball is modeled by the function f(x)=120x2+3x+5, where fx is the height (in feet) of the ball and x is the horizontal distance (in feet) from where the ball was thrown. (a) What is the maximum height of the ball? (b) Which number determines the height at which the ball was thrown? Does changing this value change the coordinates of the maximum height of the ball? Explain.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 47-50, determine the x-intercept(s) of the graph visually. Then find the x-intercept(s) algebraically to confirm your results. y=x22x3arrow_forward
