You can put this solution on YOUR website! In skeet shooting, the clay pigeon is launched from a height of 4 feet and reaches a maximum height of 164 feet at a distance of 80 feet from the launch site.
a) write an equation for the height of the clay pigeon in terms of the horizontal distance it has traveled?
---
h(t) = -16t^2+vot+ho
----
164 ft = -16*80 + vo*80 + 4
--------------
164 = -1280 + 80vo + 4
80vo = 160+1280
80vo = 1440
vo = 18 ft/sec
=====
Equation:
h(t) = -16t^2+18t+4
