The rocket that will reach a greater distance above the ground at its maximum height is y = -4x² + 80x. The answer is letter B. This is because of the coefficient presented in the x² term. The number -4 is much greater than -6. Graphing these equations into a graphing paper or excel, you would get a parabola.
