A baseball player tries to hit a ball over an outfield fence that is 6 ft. high and 358 ft. from home plate. The ball is hit 3 ft. above home plate and reaches it highest point 220 ft. above a point on the ground that is 180 ft. from home plate. Find an equation of the parabolic path of the baseball and write your answer in vertex form. Also, determine if the ball will go over the outfield fence.
f(x)=-0.007(x-180)²+220; yes, the ball will go over the outfield fence because 7.8 ft. is greater than 6 ft.
