15. Case study based Question:
Basketball and soccer are played with a spherical ball. Even though an athlete
dribbles the ball in both sports, a basketball player uses his hands and a soccer
player uses his feet. Usually, soccer is played outdoors on a large field and
basketball is played indoor on a court made out of wood. The projectile (path
traced) of soccer ball and basketball are in the form of parabola representing
quadratic polynomial.
