Exemplar MCF-3 M Mathematics Functions Multi-Media Assignment Here’s a picture of the animation you just saw. The numbers are estimated. Power. Point media can be used to show the quadratic function is determined, as follows:

←x - axis A B ↑ 0 – metre line In this example, , from the animation, we’ll assume person “A” is on the “ 0” metre line and that the x-axis passes through the players’ hands (this will simplify the calculations).

A If person A is on the “ 0” metre line; the zeroes for this parabola are therefore… (0, 0) and (6, 0).

And the vertex is… (3, 4).

Substituting these values (f(x)= 4; x = 3; s = 0; t = 6) into the zeroes or factored form f(x)=a(x – s)(x – t) gives…

f(x)=a(x – s)(x – t) gives: 4 = a(3 – 6)(3 – 0) 4 = a(-9) a= Now we have all the values we need for an equation of this function This would mean that the football’s path represents a parabola that opens down, with a maximum vertex of (3, 6) and function equation (in zeroes or factored form) of…

(This is zeroes or factored form). Or, in vertex form:

(This is zeroes or factored form). Or, in vertex form: Finally, in standard form this is:
