The batter in a softball game hits the ball when it is 4 feet above the ground. The ball reaches the greatest height on its trajectory, 35 feet, directly above the head of the left fielder, who is 200ft from home plate.

a. Write an equation for the height of the softball in terms of its horizontal distance from home plate.

b. Will the ball clear the left field wall, which is 10 feet tall and 375ft from home plate?
