Terri makes a good hit and the baseball travels on a path modelled by h = -0.1x2 + 2x. Ruth is in

the outfield directly in line with the path of the ball. She runs toward the ball and jumps to try and

catch it. Her jump is modelled by the equation h = -x? + 39x - 378. In both equations, x is the

horizontal distance in metres from home plate and h is the height of the ball above the ground in

meters.

A) Solve the system algebraically.

B) Explain the meaning of the point of intersection. What assumption are you making?
