Answer:

25 ft

Explanation:

The path of the golf ball is given by the equation.


y=x-0.04x^2

The point on the ground where the ball will land on the ground is the point where
y=0.


x is horizontal distance

So


0=x-0.04x^2\\\Rightarrow x(1-0.04x)=0\\\Rightarrow 1-0.04x=0\\\Rightarrow x=(1)/(0.04)\\\Rightarrow x=25

So, the ball will land 25 ft away from the tee.
