Two projectiles are shot into the air from the same location. The paths of the projectiles are parabolas and are given by y = −0.0013x2 + x + 12 and y = -X2/81+4/3x+12 where x is the horizontal distance and y is the vertical distance, both in feet. Determine which projectile goes higher by locating the vertex of each parabola. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) y = −0.0013x2 + x + 12 (x, y) =( )
