Answer D). 9 ft is correct
Height of the ball at a horizontal distance of 10 feet is 9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A ball is thrown and it follows a parabolic path. At each horizontal distance (x) the following equation models the ball’s height (y).
Y(x) = [tex]-0.02x^{2} +0.8x+3[/tex]
Question asked is " What will be height (Y) of the ball when X=10 ft "
Simply putting value of X in given equation
we get,
Y(x) = [tex]-0.02x^{2} +0.8x+3[/tex]
Y(x) = [tex]-0.02(10)^{2} +0.8(10)+3[/tex]
Y(x) = [tex]-0.02(100)} +8+3[/tex]
Y(x) = [tex]-2 +8+3[/tex]
Y(x) = [tex]9[/tex]
Therefore, Height of the ball at a horizontal distance of 10 feet is 9 ft
Answer D. 9 ft is correct
