“This photo makes it look easy, but it takes quite a bit of practice to get good at basketball! How hard you throw the ball can mean the difference between making a basket and missing it. The player might not think about it, but there's an equation that relates the height of a ball or other object over time and the speed it's thrown. You'll use this model and other quadratic equations in this chapter.”
