  • Question: A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 17^(@) above the horizontal, at a speed of 9m//s. The height of the jumper can be modeled by h(x)=-0.053x^(2)+0.363 x, where h is the jumper's height in meters and x is the horizontal distance from the point of launch.(a) At what horizontal distance from the point of launch does the maximum height occur?

    A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 17^(@) above the horizontal, at a speed of 9m//s. The height of the jumper can be modeled by h(x)=-0.053x^(2)+0.363 x, where h is the jumper's height in meters and x is the horizontal distance from the point of launch.
    (a) At what horizontal distance from the point of launch does the maximum height occur? Round to 2 decimal places.
    The long jumper reaches a maximum height when the horizontal distance from the point of launch is approximately meters.
    (b) What is the maximum height of the long jumper? Round to 2 decimal places.
    The maximum height of the long jumper is approximately meters.
    (c) What is the length of the jump? Round to 1 decimal place.
    The length of the jump is approximately meters.
