Question 1170903: The human cannonball is an act where a performer is launched through the air. The height of the performer can be modeled by h(x) = -0.007x^2+x+20, where h is the height in feet and x is the horizontal distance traveled in feet. The circus act is considering a flight path directly over the main tent.
a. How high will the performer be after he’s traveled 53 feet from the cannon?
b. How high will the performer be after he’s traveled 100 feet from the cannon?
c. When the performer is 45 feet in the air, how far has he traveled?
d. When the performer is 25 feet in the air, how far has he traveled?
e. If the performer wants at least 5 feet of vertical clearance, how tall can the tent be?
f. How far should the cannon be from the center pole of the tent to obtain this clearance height?
