Answer:

Quadratic function

Explanation:

The trajectory of path of flight of a golf ball can be described as that of a parabola that travels in a trajectory given by the quadratic function of the form f(x) = a·x² + b··x + c, such that the letter, a, is a non-zero number

The type of parabola that represents the flight path of a golf ball is one that has the characteristic "U" shaped of the parabola that is opened downwards.
