A softball player hits a ball whose path is modeled by f(x) = -0.0005x2 + 0.2127x + 3,
where x is the distance from home plate (in feet) and y is the height of the ball above the
ground (in feet). What is the highest point this ball will reach? If the ball was hit to center
field which has an 8 foot fence located 410 feet from home plate, was this hit a home run?
Explain.
