During a pumpkin launching contest, two pumpkins are launched at the same time. The path of pumpkin A is modeled by the equation h(x) = –0.01x2 + 0.32x + 4. The path of pumpkin B is modeled by the equation h(x) = –0.01x2 + 0.18x + 5. If x represents the distance the pumpkin traveled and h(x) represents height, what does the intersection point of the equations represent?

Question

anonymous · Answer

launcher height above the ground level
at zero distance h(x)=0+0+.4 => height is 4
