Let’s tackle the problem. We know the formula for <span>the height of the ball is as follows:
</span>

<span>
Here, x represents </span><span>the horizontal distance in yards that the ball has traveled in the air. Given that distance is always a positive value, we conclude that x must be greater than or equal to 0. Thus:
</span>

<span>
The horizontal plane indicates the function's zero point, and since the ball cannot have negative height values,

must also remain positive. Ultimately, the graph reveals that the suitable domain is:
</span>

<span>
</span><span>
</span>
Given:
Segment AC = 130 feet
Segment CD = 70 feet
To find r, the radius, I'll use the Pythagorean theorem since r is the hypotenuse.
Segment CE = r - 70 feet
Applying the Pythagorean theorem:
r² = 130² + (r - 70)²
r² = 16,900 + (r - 70)(r - 70)
r² = 16,900 + r² - 140r + 4,900
r² - r² + 140r = 16,900 + 4,900
140r = 21,800
r = 21,800 / 140
r = 155.71 feet
Therefore, the circle's radius measures 155.71 feet.
