The function h(x)=−x2+6x
models the path of water in a fountain in meters. The function represents the vertical distance, h
, as a function of the horizontal distance, x. What is the value of h(2)
?

To find the value of h(2), we substitute x = 2 into the equation h(x) = -x^2 + 6x:
h(2) = -(2)^2 + 6(2)
= -4 + 12
= 8
So the value of h(2) is 8.
