The height of a basketball thrown by a 6 foot tall man follows a path defined by the function h (x) = -0.5x^2 + 3x + 6, where x is the horizontal distance from where it is thrown. How far away from the basket should the player stand in order for the ball to go in the basket (10 feet high) on its way down? Show all work.

answer: 12,000

step-by-step explanation: first you ar e supposed to add. then multiply then subtract

you just switch the numbers basically so it would be 3/17

answer: -10

step-by-step explanation:

s(t) = 1 - 10t

s(x) = 1 - 10x

s(x + h) = 1 - 10(x + h)

            = 1 - 10x - 10h

s(x + h) - s(x) = 1 - 10x - 10h - (1 - 10x)

                      = 1 - 10x - 10h - 1 + 10x

                      = -10h

= -10
