Modeling the path of a golf ball


Assignment:

The path traveled by a golf ball hit with a 9-iron can be modeled with quadratic function, y= -0.042X 2 + 5X, where x is the distance in yards from the point it was hit and y is the height of the golf ball in feet. Assume that the ground is level.

A. Find the maximum height reached by the ball.
B. How far from where it was hit does the ball hit the ground?

In the quadratic equation on top X2 is a small 2 near the X.

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
