A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches and maximum height of 3 feet, 55 feet away from the player. The height y (in feet) of a second hockey puck is modeled by y=x(0.15-0.001x), where x is the horizontal distance (in feet). Compare the distances traveled by the hockey pucks before hitting the ground.

Distance traveled by hockey puck of second player is 40 feet more than that of first player.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum height of 3 feet is attained by the hockey puck of first player is when the puck is 55 feet away from the player.

It is at the mid point of the total horizontal distance to be traveled by the hockey puck.

So, the horizontal distance traveled by hockey puck of first player = 55 + 55 = 110 feet

Second player:

where is the height of a second hockey puck

is the horizontal distance.

When the puck hits the ground,

Now, let us find the value of .

At feet or feet,

Therefore, the distance traveled by second hockey puck is 150 feet.

So, the answer is:

Distance traveled by hockey puck of second player is 40 feet more than that of first player.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

the answer is c

hope this !
