A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches a maximum height of 2 feet, 75 feet away from the player. The height y(in feet) of a second hockey puck is modeled by y=x(0.09-0.0009x) where x is the horizontal distance (in feet).  Compare the distance traveled by the hockey pucks before hitting the ground and how many feet did the hockey puck travel further?
