8 A firework is launched inside a large shed with a sloping roof. In relation to the
horizontal distance from the point it was launched, the height of the firework, h m, can
be modelled by the quadratic equation

The sloping roof of the shed can be modelled with the equation
h = 2 + 0 . 1x

8 (a) The goal in a video game is to have a unicorn leap as far as possible in a horizontal
direction without being destroyed by the death ray that is being fired overhead. You
hack into the game code and find that the height of the unicorn, h , is being modelled in
relation to the horizontal distance from the point it jumps by the quadratic equation
h = − 0 . 02x (x − k ) , where k ≥ 0 is a parameter that can be controlled by the player’s
actions, and x is the horizontal distance in metres. You also find that the path of the
death ray is being modelled by the equation x + 5h = 25.
The value of h can never be less than zero, and if the path of the unicorn crosses or
touches the path of the death ray, the unicorn is considered to have been destroyed.
Ignoring the problem of the death ray, explain why the parameter k represents the
horizontal distance leapt by the unicorn.
(2 marks)
(b) Your friend’s personal best in the game is a leap of 21.5 m without the unicorn being
destroyed. He is determined to keep playing until his unicorn has leapt 22 m safely.
Determine whether or not your friend has a chance of reaching this goal.
