Standard representation of basketball throwing

Topic:
Parabola
basketball throwing has approximately a shape of parabola. Hence, we can find variables a,b & c such that f(x)=ax^2+bx+c will represent a parabola that the ball's orbit pass through it. In this applet you can try to find variables that will match to the ball's orbit in the picture.
