Competition From the time Mark Twain wrote The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County in 1865, frog-jumping competitions have been growing in popularity. The graph shows a function modeling the height of one frog's jump, where x is the distance, in feet, from the jump's start.
How can you use a graphing calculator to determine the distance?
Graph the function and locate the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.
The height of the jump is 0 at the start and end of the jump. Find the zeros of the function. Use a graphing calculator to find the zeros of the related function
The frog jumped about 20.34 ft.
The maximum height of the jump is the maximum value of the function. This occurs midway, at 10.17 ft from the start. Find y for x = 10.17.
The frog jumped to a height of about 3.0 ft.
While the function
