The roller coaster could be represented by the function for Choice D.
If you were to graph this function, you would find that the zeros (x-intercepts) of the function are at the points of -2 and 1. Those are the needed points in the problem.
Since this is a parabola that opens upward, the parabola must be below the axis (or support bar) between those values.
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given quadratic trinomial is

Comparing to the general quadratic trinomial:

We have a=1, b=10 and c=-8

The factors of -24 that adds up to 10 are -2 and 12.
We split the middle term to obtain;

Factor;

Factor further;

The last option is correct.
65 yards because of a2+b2=c2
