A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 20° above the horizontal, at a speed of 9 m/s. The height of the jumper can be modeled by h(x) = -0.051x2 +0.364.x, where h is the jumper's height in meters and x is the horizontal distance from the point of
launch.

(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 0 meters.
