6 AISS PRELIIM/4E/4049/P2/2023 4 A projectile was launched from a catapult to hit a defence structure on a fort. The height, h metres, of the projectile above ground is given by the equation 22 3 1.5h x x=− + + , where x metres is the horizontal distance from the catapult. (i) By expressing the function in the form ( ) 2 h a x m n= − + , where a, m and n are constants, explain whether the projectile can reach a height of 3 metres. [2] (ii) Given that the defence structure is 1.4 metres horizontally from the catapult and 0.8 metres above the ground, justify if the projectile will hit the structure. [2]
