Question 4

Sarah is learning snowboarding. One of her jumps on a snowboard

could be described using the function y 0.4x2 + 1.4x 3,
where y is the height above her landing surface in meters and x is

the horizontal distance from her take-off point also in meters. Use
technology to draw the graph and determine, using the graph,

how far from the take-off point will Sarah land. Explain how you
arrived at that answer. You may answer in point form.
