2. In 1971, astronaut Allen Shepard hit a golf ball on the moon, the path of a golf ball hit at an angle of 45 degrees and with a speed of 100ft per second can be modeled by

g
y= - ----------xsquared( 2 ) + x
10,000
where x is the ball's horizontal position (in feet), y is the corresponding height(in feet) and g is the acceleration due to gravity (in feet per seconds squared).
