A rocket is fired from behind a ship and follows the path given by h = 3x − 0.05x2, where h is its altitude (in mi) and x is the horizontal distance traveled (in mi). A missile fired from the ship follows the path given by h = 0.8x − 15. For h > 0 and x > 0, find where the paths of the rocket and missile cross.
