A golfer is hitting a shot up a hill. The hill is modeled by the equation y = 0.125x. The path of the ball is modeled by the

equation y -0.03x^2 + 3x. In both equations, x represents

the horizontal distance in yards and y represents the vertical

distance in yards. How much higher will the ball be when it

lands that when it was hit?

answer: just subtact the units and then add the non negative : happy to

step-by-step explanation:

answer: c

substitute in the values.

for a:

f(0) = 0 + 9

f(0) = 9

a is a solution.

for b:

f(7) = 14 + 9

f(7) = 23

b is a solution.

for c:

f (3) = 6 + 9

f(3) = 15

c is not a solution. it's supposed to be 14.

for d:

f(2) = 4 + 9

f(2)= 13

d is a solution.

josh is incorrect

x= 7 and x= -1

step 2 is wrong and honestly first step is not needed, you just need to figure out the factors

i know its wrong because if you plug in the solutions josh found, they do not work (in the original equation)

x^2 -6x -7 = 0

(x-7) (x+1) = 0

x-7=0 x+1=0

x= 7 x= -1
