How do the functions in the tables compare? The tables show functions representing the path of two
rockets launched by different science lab groups.

O Since the maximums occurred at the same x-value, the
rockets followed the same path.
Since the x-intercepts are the same for both functions,
the rockets followed the same path.
O The rockets were in the air for the same amount of time,
but the rocket for group B went higher in the air.
The rockets traveled the same height in the air, but the
rocket for group B was in the air for a longer time.
