SOLUTION: When a shot is released at an angle of 35 degrees, it's path can be modeled by the function: f(x) = -0.01x^2+0.7x +6.1. Ude the function to determine the shot's maimum distance.

When a shot is released at an angle of 35 degrees, it's path can be modeled by the function:
f(x) = -0.01x^2+0.7x +6.1.
Use the function to determine the shot's maximum distance.
Occurs when f(x) = 0
:
-0.01x^2+0.7x +6.1. = 0
Use the quadratic formula

In this problem a=-.01, b=.7, c=6.1

Do the math and you should get a positive solution ~ 77.8369 max distance
