During a pumpkin launching contest, two pumpkins are launched at the same time. The path of pumpkin A is modeled by the equation y = –0.01x2 + 0.32x + 4. The path of pumpkin B is modeled by the equation y = –0.01x2 + 0.18x + 5. If x represents the distance the pumpkin traveled in feet and y represents height of the pumpkin in feet, what does the intersection point of the equations represent?

A
the height at which the pumpkins reach their greatest horizontal distance from the launch site
B
the horizontal distance of the pumpkins from the launch site when they reach the ground
C
the starting height of the pumpkins when they are at the launch site
D
the horizontal distance of the pumpkins from the launch site when their heights are the same
