0.48 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

It is given that the grade(slope) is 4%. This means that for every 100 miles traveled, the elevation changes by 4 miles.

Step 2

Hence for a distance of 12 miles , the elevation changes by 12*4/100 = 48/100 = 0.48 miles. [Using direct proportion]

$\\ \\$

$\leadsto f( \rm x) = - ( {x}^{2} - 5x - 3x + 15) \\$

$\\ \\$

$\leadsto f( \rm x) = - ( {x}^{2} - 8x + 15) \\$
