The end of a hose was resting on the ground, pointing up an angle. Sal measured the path of the water coming out of the hose and found that it could be modeled using the equation f(x) = –0.3x2 + 2x, where f(x) is the height of the path of the water above the ground, in feet, and x is the horizontal distance of the path of the water from the end of the hose, in feet.
