Transcribed Image Text:

A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 18 above the horizontal, at a speed of 11 m/s. The height of the jumper can be modeled by h(x)--0.05x 0.366x, where it is the jumper's height in meters and x is the horizontal distance from the point of launch. Part: 0/3 Part 1 of 3 (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.
