Question

Clovis is standing at the edge of a cliff, which slopes 4 feet downward from him for every 1 horizontal foot. He launches a small model rocket from where he is standing. With the origin of the coordinate system located where he is standing, and the x-axis extending horizontally, the path of the rocket is described by the formula
y = −2x2 + 120x.

(a) Give a function
h = f(x)
relating the height h of the rocket above the sloping ground to its x-coordinate.

Answer 1

Thank you that makes sense!
