A model rocket is launched from a roof into a large field. The path of the rocket can be modeled by the equation y=-0.02x^2+2.3x+6, where x is the horizontal distance, in meters, from the starting point on the roof and y is the height, in meters, of the rocket above the ground. How far horizontally from its starting point will the rocket land?
