Question

A duck and a hunter are in the woods one morning. The duck is 50 feet off the ground in a tree and spots a fish to eat for breakfast. To get the fish the duck dives and the equation to track the path of the duck can be, D(x) = -5x + 50, where x is the time in seconds and D(x) is height in feet. When the duck dives for the fish, the hunter takes aim and shoots at the duck. The hunter’s bullet can be represented by the equation to track the path of the bullet can be H(x) = 10x + 5, where x is time in seconds and H(x) is height in feet.
