The question I need to solve is this:
If the nearest person is 5 ft horizontally from the point of impact how high must that person reach in order to block the punt?
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The only way this makes any sense whatsoever is if the height is expressed as a function of the horizontal distance (
) of the ball from the kicker.
Hence, you want to know the value of
\ =\ -0.01x^2\ +\ 1.18x\ +\ 2)
When 
which is to say:
\ =\ -0.01(5)^2\ +\ 1.18(5)\ +\ 2)
You can do your own arithmetic.
