So since we know that the post is 40 yards away, plug in 40 into the x variable of the equation to solve. If y is greater than 10 when x = 40, then it made it over. If y is less than 10 when x = 40, then it does not make it over.
Firstly, solve the exponent:
Next, solve the multiplications:
Lastly, solve the addition and your answer will be:
