Question 402091: Suppose a cannon is placed at the origin and elevated at an angle of 45 degrees. If the cannonball is fired with a muzzle velocity of 0.17 miles per second, it will follow the graph of the following function, where distances are measured in miles.
y=x-2000x^2/9537
What should I put in y1 on my calculator to graph this?
Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
at y1, enter: x-(2000x^2)/9537
:
set the scale:
xmin -2
xmax 5
xsc .5
ymin -1
ymax 2
ysc .5
:
It should look like this:
