While watering her outdoor plants, Bee noticed that the water coming out of her
garden hose followed a parabolic path. Thinking that she might be able to model the
path of water with an equation, she quickly took some measurements. The highest point
the water reached was 6 feet, and it landed on the plants 16 feet from where she was
standing. Both the nozzle of the hose and the top of
the flowers were 3 feet above the ground.
Help Bee by drawing a graph and labeling the key
points showing the path of the water from the
hose to the top of her plants. (3 pts)
