The path of an object projected at a 45-degree angle with an initial velocity of 60 feet per second is given by the function h(x) = - x +x, where x is the horizontal distance traveled in feet and h (x) is the object's height in feet. Use a graphing calculator or another graphing utility to determine the height of the object when it has traveled 80 feet horizontally. Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. ft
