Will it hit the hoop?

Watch this: http://101qs-media.s3.amazonaws.com/videos/1195-will-it-hit-the-hoop.mp4

For each of the shots record whether you think they will go through the ring or not:
A
Yes

YES

B
Yes

C
Yes

E
Yes

No

NO

G
Yes

No

Then, click on each letter to open the GeoGebra worksheet to investigate whether the shot will be successful or not.
Use the quadratic formula to find the roots of each shot.
Shot A

Shot B

Your Turn!
Using a netball ring or basketball ring, try this out
for yourself and embed the images using this
blank GeoGebra worksheet. You could even use
an example from a real basketball or netball
match. Before testing your quadratic, you must
have a complete scenario drawn up on GeoGebra
with at least three possible outcomes and roots
calculated.
Upload the photo or video and place a line over it
on GeoGebra to compare your prediction with
what actually happened.
Include this awesome example in your journal and
complete a modelling task template (as you have
previously done with all modelling tasks).
