We introduce a coordinate system with the origin at the base of the hill and with the scales on the axes measured in meters. A rocket is fired from the base of the hill in such a way that its trajectory is the parabola . At what point does the rocket hit the hillside? Give your answer in terms of and coordinates.





How far is this point, measured on a straight line, from the launch spot?

Distance = meters
