You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the equation you wrote in this problem is not correct - it gives a parabola that opens upward - I really think you want a parabola that opens downward
\n" ); document.write( "for example, the formula could be
\n" ); document.write( "h(x) = (-32x^2/(55)^2) + x + 3
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
