Question

(PLEASE HELP) The path of a ball kicked from the ground can be modeled by the equation y=−15(x−5)(x−20), where x and y are measured in feet. The x-axis represents the ground. How far does the ball land from where it is kicked?

Answer 1

Answer: The Ball Landed 20 feet away from it was kicked.

Explanation:

The path of a ball kicked from the ground can be modeled by the equation:

Where x represents the ground.

Substitute y= 0

So,

So, Distance covered by ball = 22-2=20

So, The ball land 20 feet away from where it is kicked.
