The path of a baseball, hit 3 feet above ground, is modeled by the function f(x)=-0.01x^2+x+3, where f(x) represents the vertical height of the bar and X is the horizontal distance. How far across the field, in feet, of the ball travel before hitting the ground? Round to two decimal places

Therefore the ball travel 102.92 feet horizontally before hitting the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the path of a baseball, hit 3 feet above ground, is modeled by the function

where f(x) represents the vertical height of the ball in feet(Assume) and x is the horizontal distance in feet(Assume) .

When the ball hits the ground, then the vertically distance of the ball will be zero, i.e f(x)=0

[Applying quadratic formula , here a = -0.001, b=1 and c=3]

Therefore the ball travel 102.92 feet horizontally before hitting the ground.
