Question 870207: An athlete in a shot put event releases the shot with the same initial velocity but at different angles. When he releases the shot at an angle of 35°, its path can be represented by the function h(x) = –0.01x^2 + 0.7x + 6.1, where the horizontal distance, x, and the height, h(x), are measured in feet. When he releases the shot at an angle of 65°, its path is represented by the function (window of [0, 80, 10] by [0, 40, 10]) g(x) = –0.04x^2 + 2.1x + 6.1. Both are graphed below.
a. Label which graph represents h(x) and which represents g(x).
b. Find out the farthest distance thrown.
c. Find out the maximum height thrown.
