Pick a baseball team average speed off the bat from
this list
. Pretend you are on that team and hitting a pitch. Using your height and the information in the table, create your own personalized equation as was done in the example above.
Once you have your equation, find the zeros and the vertex using the techniques covered this week in Chapter 3. Show all your work!
