To find the y-intercept of the function \( h(x) = -130x(x - 60) \), we substitute \( x = 0 \).
\[ h(0) = -130(0)(0 - 60) = -130 \cdot 0 \cdot -60 = 0 \]
Thus, the y-intercept is \( (0, 0) \).
To begin a football game, the kicker has to kick off. The football follows the path h(x) = −130x(x−60)
, where h(x)
is the height of the football and x is the horizontal distance it has traveled in yards.
