A model rocket is launched from a roof into a large field. The path of the rocket can be modeled by the equation where x is the horizontal distance, in meters, from the starting point on the roof and y is the height, in meters, of the rocket above the ground. How far horizontally from its starting point will the rocket land? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (1 point) Responses
a. 4.30 m
b.160.56 m
c. 161.12 m
d. 13.94 m
To find out how far horizontally from its starting point the rocket will land, we need to find the x-coordinate when y=0 (since the rocket lands on the ground).
Given the equation is not provided, it is not possible to calculate the exact answer.
