Help to solve please I am confused. Answer by KnightOwlTutor(293) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! All you have to do is plug in the value 40 for each x
f(x)=0.004x^3-0.12x^2+5.2x+12
f(x)=.004(40)^3-0.12(40)^2+(5.2)(40)+12
256-192+208+12=284 is the height of the track when x=40
