Pam and Jim were inspired by the most recent Space Xrocket launch (pictured below) and decided to build a rocket of their own. After several trials, they built a rocket that, when launched, followed a path that looks like a parabola,
It was important to them to know exactly where it landed each time so they could retrieve the rocket for parts, On their most recent
launch, Pam used a computer to record the path of the rocket. The computer reported the path the rocket took followed this equations
y = -4x^2 + 48xwhere y = height of the rocket in yards and X - horizontal distance in yards,
How far away from the launch point did the rocket land?
