Question 1191539: A projectile is fired from a cliff 200 feet above the water at an inclination of 45 degrees to the horizontal,
with a muzzle velocity of 50 feet per second.
The height h of the projectile above the water is modeled
by h(x)=-32x^2/(50)^2+x+250 Where x is the horizontal distance from the face of the cliff.
1. At what horizontal distance from the face of the cliff is the height of the projectile a maximum?
2. Find the maximum height of the projectile.
3. At what horizontal distance from the face of the cliff will the projectile strike the water?
4.Sketch the graph of another polynomial function with the same characteristics as the function in part 1.
except that this polynomial has a zero of multiplicity 3.

The formula in the post is  NOT  CONSISTENT  with the wording description and  CONTRADICTS  to it.

So the post in its present form is not a  Math problem - it is a  FAKE,  instead.



Also notice that question  4  in this post is  IRRELEVANT  to the rest of the problem.



Please do not post your anathema to me in response.

It would be much better if you post your  "THANKS"  to me for detecting and pointing your mistakes.
