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

6. ←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).

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

8. And the vertex is… (3,4).

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

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

11. (This is zeroes or factoredform). Or, in vertexform:

12. (This is zeroes or factoredform). Or, in vertexform: Finally, in standardform this is:
