Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.
James is competing in the shot put event for his track team. His best attempt can be modeled using the quadratic function below, where x represents the horizontal distance, in feet, the shot traveled and h(x) represents the height, in feet, of the shot.

Answer 1

x=0

x=10

x=24

Explanation:

f(x) = -.05x^2 + x +6

The initial value is 6 ( Let x=0 and f(0) = 6)

f(x) = -.05( x^2 -20 x -120)

I plotted the equation and maximum is at x=10 and the zero is at x=25
