Lesson 1.7

32. Shot Put In a track and field event, a contestant had a throw in the shot put that can
be modeled by y 5 20.02x 2 1 x 1 6 where x is the shot puts horizontal distance
(in feet) and y is the corresponding height (in feet). How long was the throw?
Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
