Math Problem Statement
An amusement park is building a roller coaster with a drop section modeled by a quadratic. The roller coaster will dip 10 feet below ground level. The roller coaster will dip below ground level at a horizontal distance of 32 feet from the peak and re-emerge to ground level at a horizontal distance of 72 feet from the peak.
What is the expression that models this scenario?
