Question 948679: when a 10-in. shell is shot from a mortar at an angle of 75 degrees, the height, y (in feet), of the shell t sec after being shot from the mortar is given by y=-16t^2 +224t and the horizontal distance of the shell from the mortar, x (in feet), is given by x= 63t.
How high is the shell after 3 sec ?
