David is at the fair and wants to try the ring toss game. The ring
needs to be tossed at an arc that can be modeled by the equation
-2? + 36 = 0 with x being the distance in feet the ring lands
from David. It needs to be tossed at just this arc in order to land
properly on top of a bottle so that David can win a prize.
The two solutions to the equation are: x =
or
In the context of this problem, which solution makes sense as the
distance from David where the ring lands? x = feet
