? Question A slingshot launches a water balloon into the air. Function f models the height of the balloon, where x is the horizontal
distance in feet:
f(x) = -0.05x2 +0.8x + 4.
From what height did the slingshot launch the balloon, and what was the balloon's maximum height? How far from the
slingshot did the balloon land?
The balloon's maximum height was_
The slingshot
launched the balloon from a height of _
The balloon landed_

from the slingshot.

4 ft

7.2 ft

20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When the balloon is shot, x = 0.

y = -0.05(0)² + 0.8(0) + 4

y = 4

The balloon reaches the highest point at the vertex of the parabola.

x = -b / 2a

x = -0.8 / (2 × -0.05)

x = 8

y = -0.05(8)² + 0.8(8) + 4

y = 7.2

When the balloon lands, y = 0.

0 = -0.05x² + 0.8x + 4

0 = x² − 16x − 80

0 = (x + 4) (x − 20)

x = -4 or 20

Since x > 0, x = 20.
