Question 310344
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


The only way this makes any sense whatsoever is if the height is expressed as a function of the horizontal distance (*[tex \Large x]) of the ball from the kicker.


Hence, you want to know the value of


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ h(x)\ =\ -0.01x^2\ +\ 1.18x\ +\ 2]


When *[tex \Large x\ =\ 5] which is to say:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ h(5)\ =\ -0.01(5)^2\ +\ 1.18(5)\ +\ 2]


You can do your own arithmetic.
