(1 point) 13. Every year in Delaware there is a contest where people create cannons and catapults designed
to launch pumpkins as far in the air as possible. The equation y = 15 + 110x - 16x2 can be
used to represent the height, y, of a launched pumpkin, where x is the time in seconds that the
pumpkin has been in the air. What is the maximum height that the pumpkin reaches? How
many seconds have passed when the pumpkin hits the ground? (Hint: If the pumpkin hits the
ground, its height is 0 feet.)
The pumpkin's maximum height is 204.06 feet and it hits the ground after 7.01 seconds.
The pumpkin's maximum height is 3.44 feet and it hits the ground after 7.01 seconds.
The pumpkin's maximum height is 204.06 feet and it hits the ground after 3.44 seconds.
