Answer 1

Since
`f(25\,ft) < 8\,ft`, then we conclude that it will be a goal.

Explanation:

Let the trajectory of the ball be represented by
`f(x) = -0.05\cdot (x-16)^(2)+11`, where
`x` is the horizontal distance of the ball from origin, in feet, and
`f(x)` is the height of the ball above ground, in feet.

If Deshawn does not block Chris's shot, then we should check if shot will be a goal and this condition must be fulfilled:

`f(25\,ft) < 8\,ft` (1)

If we know that
`x = 25\,ft`, then the height of the ball at the start of the goal is:

`f(x) = -0.05\cdot (x-16)^(2)+11` (2)

`f(x) = 6.95\,ft`

Since
`f(25\,ft) < 8\,ft`, then we conclude that it will be a goal.
