(a) Figure 1 is a graph showing the trajectory of a rugby ball.


The height of the ball above the ground, H metres, has been plotted against the horizontal distance, x
metres, measured from the point where the ball was kicked.

The ball travels in a vertical plane. The ball reaches a maximum height of 10 metres and hits the ground
at a point 60 metres from where it was kicked.

Find a quadratic equation linking H with x that models this situation. (3)

(b) The ball passes over the horizontal bar of a set of rugby posts that is perpendicular to the path of the
ball. The bar is 5 metres above the ground.
Use the equation to find the greatest horizontal distance of the bar from 0. (3)
