Landon is standing in a hole that is 6.5 ft deep. He throws a rock, and it goes up into the air, out of the hole, and then lands on the ground above. The path of the rock can be modeled by the equation y = 0.005x² + 0.45x – 6.5, where x is the horizontal distance of the rock, in meters, from Landon and y is the height, in meters, of the rock above the ground. How far horizontally from Landon will the rock land? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a meter. (1 point)
A) 18.07 m
B) 35.96 m
C) 9.04 m
D) 71.93
