Question

In the sport of skeet shooting, clay discs are mechani- cally flung into the air at a high speed. The participant attempts to break the clay target by shooting it with a shotgun as the target flies across the course. The path of the skeet is modeled in the graph below. Use the graph to answer the following equations.​ see attached graph and questions.

Answer 1

The point at the release of the clay pigeon is point A

The point at the clay pigeon hitting the ground is D

The point at the beginning of the decline in the height is C

The pigeon is at the launch height is the point B

Which point represents the release of the clay pigeon

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The graph

The point that represents the release of the clay pigeon is the point where x = 0

In this case, the point is the point A

Which point represents the clay pigeon hitting the ground

From the graph, the point that represents clay pigeon hitting the ground is the point where y = 0

In this case, the point is the point D

Which point represents the beginning of the decline in the height

This is the maximum height of the graph

The maximum height on the graph is at point C

So, the point at the beginning of the decline in the height is the point C

The above implies that the point that represents where the pigeon is at the launch height is the point B
