19. Write Algebraic identities and Evaluate the following. 5
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.
