A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 20 yards, 20 yards away from the player. A second
kick is modeled by f (x) = -0.037x(x – 45), where f is the height (in yards) and x is the horizontal distance (in yards). Compare the distances that the footballs
travel before hitting the ground.
The
kick travels farther before hitting the ground.
