The path of a softball is given by the equation:
y=-0.08x^2+x+4
The coordinates x and y are measured in ft, with x=0 corresponding to the position where the ball was thrown.
(a) use a graphing utility to graph the trajectory of the softball
(b) Move the cursor along the path to approximate the highest point and the range of the trajectory
