During a pumpkin launching contest, two pumpkins are launched at the same time. The path of pumpkin A is modeled by the equation y = -0.01x2 + 0.32x + 4. The path of pumpkin B is modeled by the equation y = -0.01x2 + 0.18x + 5. If x
represents the distance the pumpkin traveled in feet and y represents height of the pumpkin in feet, what does the
intersection point of the equations represent?
the height at which the pumpkins reach their greatest horizontal distance from the launch site
the horizontal distance of the pumpkins from the launch site when they reach the ground
the starting height of the pumpkins when they are at the launch site
the horizontal distance of the pumpkins from the launch site when their heights are the same
