9. Jamie threw a softball that traveled along a path described by the parabola y = - x2 + 10x, where x is the horizontal distance in feet that the ball has traveled from Jamie and y is the height of the softball in feet. What is the ball's horizontal distance from Jamie when it is 24 feet up in the air? Solve the problem algebraically. Only one of your solutions makes sense. Why?
