Lauren hits a golf ball into the air from a tee on the ground. The path of the ball can be modeled by a parabolic function. The ball reaches a maximum height of 20 meters when the ball is horizontally 65 meters from the tee.
if the xy-plane is overlaid on the figure such that the tee corresponds to the origin and each unit in the plane represents 1 meter, then the height of the ball above ground can be modeled by the quadratic function p, where
p() is the height of the ball, in meters, above level ground and is the horizontal distance from the tee. Which of the following correctly defines the function p?
