\n" ); document.write( " A golf ball is hit with an initial velocity of 150 feet per second at an inclination of 45 degrees to the horizontal. in physics, it is established that the height h of the golf ball is given by the function:
\n" ); document.write( "h(x) = -32x^2/150^2 + x
\n" ); document.write( "Where X is the horizontal distance that the golf ball has traveled.
\n" ); document.write( "Use a graphing utility to determine the distance that the ball
\n" ); document.write( "has traveled when the height of the ball is 80 feet? (round to one decimal place) the answer is 92.1,611.1 ft. I just can't figure out how to figure this part out. How to find the answer.What to do to get the correct answer.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
they have essentially told you what the equation is that will solve this poblem for you.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "what's left for you is to graph the equation and find out when the value of y is equal to 80.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the following graph does that.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you graph y = -32x^2/150^2 + x and you graph y = 80.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the intersection of those two equations is your solution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "my graph is shown below:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the graphing software i use is at https://www.desmos.com/calculator\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "their solution is rounded to three decimal points.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "just round to 1 decimal point and you'll see that the solution is what you are looking for.
