A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 23 degrees above the horizontal, at a speed of 11 m/s. The height of the jumper can be modeled by f(x) = -0.046 x2 + 0.363 x where f(x) 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. (b) What is the maximum height of the long jumper? Round to 2 decimal places.
