a goalkeeper kicked the ball in a soccer match. the path of the ball was modeled by the equation y= -0.035x(squared) +1.4x+1, where x and y were measured in feet. If a player headed the ball at a height of 6 feet, what was the approximate distance between the goalkeeper and the player?
thanks in advance
