The following graph shows the equation of a projectile that is launched from a platform that is 5 ft high. The equation for the path of the projectile is
y = -16x^2 + 40x + 5
where y represents the height of the projectile (in feet) and x represents the horizontal distance the projectile has traveled (in feet).
This equation represents a projectile that is launched from a height of 5 feet, with an initial velocity of 40 ft/s and an acceleration of gravity of 16 ft/s^2. The graph of the equation would form a parabolic shape as the projectile follows a curved path while in the air.
