In the shot-put competition at a track meet, the trajectory of Blair’s best put is given by the function h(t) =­ 0.0186x^{2}, where x is the horizontal distance the shot travels, 2 + x + 5
and h is the corresponding height of the shot above the ground, both measured in feet.
Graph the function and find how far the shot went. What was the greatest height obtained?
In the given context, what is the meaning of the “5” in the equation?
