Mitzu shoots and arrow from an initial height of 2 meters. The arrow reaches its maximum height of 20 meters
after it has flown a distance of 60 meters. Write a quadratic function to represent the height of the arrow as a function
of its distance. And determine the height of the arrow after it has flown a distance of 100 meters.

When you use the term "distance", what do you mean? Horizontal distance?

Your formulation is extremely inaccurate.
