Modelling a Basketball Throw with Quadratic Functions

This example demonstrates how to model the trajectory of a basketball throw using quadratic functions. Key math concepts involved include functions, quadratic functions, addition, angles, rotation, and upper and lower sums or Riemann sums. Construction highlights involve using GeoGebra commands to create objects B, A, pic1_2, c, and d. Suitable for high school students learning the application of quadratic functions and understanding the connection between function graphs and real-world physical phenomena.
