Parabolic Trajectory Of Water Stream

[username877]

A stream of water from a water hose can be modeled by the graph of y= -0.003x^{2}+0.58x+3 where x and y are measured in feet. a firefighter is holding the hose 3 feet above the ground, 137 feet from a building. will the stream of water pass through a window if the top of the window is 26 feet above the ground?

really need help.

Hello and welcome to MHB! :D

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?
