The trajectory of a golf ball in a chip from the rough has a parabolic pattern. The height, in feet, of the ball is given by the equation h(x)=−.15x2+3.2x, where x is the number of feet away from the golf club (along the ground) the ball is. The ball reaches a maximum height of feet at a horizontal distance of
feet away from the golf club it was hit with.
The ball returns to the ground at about feet away.
