14. A model rocket is launched from a roof into a large field. The path of the rocket can be modeled by the equation y = 0.04x+ 8.3x + 4.3, where x is the horizontal distance, in meters, from the starting point on the roof and y is the height, in meters, of the rocket above the ground. How far horizontally from its starting point will the rocket land? (1 point)

208.02 m
416.03 m
0.52 m
208.19 m

not sure, those are the choices

The equation might be having 0.04x2, I guess U miswrote
When the rocket will land y = 0, its height from ground will be zero so place y to equal 0, and solve the quadratic equation in terms of x
U will get the second option 416.03 answer
