The equation h=-4.9d2 +8.2d + 1.8 models the path of a Canadian High School shot put
throw, where h is the height
of the shot put in metres and d is the horizontal distance from
where it was released in metres.
a. Use the graphing technology to graph
the relation.
b. From what height was the shot put
released?
c. How far did the shot put go?
d. How high was the shot put 1.5 m away
from where it was released?
