when the shot is releases at an angle of 65 degrees, its path can be modeled by the formula y=-0.04xsquared+2.1x+6.1, in which x is the shots horizontal distance, in feet, and y is its height, in feet. use the formula to determine the shots maximum distance and round to the nearest tenth of a foot
\n" ); document.write( "y=-0.04xsquared+2.1x+6.1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "When the shot hits the ground its height will be zero.
\n" ); document.write( "Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "-0.04x^2 + 2.1x + 6.1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Use the Quadratic Formula:
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-2.1 +- sqrt(2.1^2 - 4*-0.04*6.1)]/(2*-0.04)
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-2.1 +- sqrt(5.386)]/(-0.08)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-2.1 - 2.3201]/-0.08
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 55.26 ft
