the question has 3 parts.

part a: assume The ball passes through the points (3,8) ,(5,20/3) and (6,5) set up a system of three equations and three unknowns (a,b,c) that will allow you to find the equation of the parabola

part buse matrix manipulation to solve for a,b, and c. Set up a matrix equation for AX=B based on the system of equations from part B. Where x is a matrix of the variables a,b and c. Use gauss Jordan elimination to find the inverse of A. Write the equation of the parabola

Part C Now that you have determined the equation of the parabola, assume that x represents the number of seconds that have passed since the ball was thrown and determine approximately how long it will take for the ball to hit the ground. BIUXX 2 15px A V E E E
