Question

An object is launched at 20 m/s from a height of 65 m. The equation for the height (h) in terms of time (t) is given by h(t) = -4.912 + 20t + 65. What is the
object's maximum height?

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum height is the y-value of the vertex.

h(t) = -4.9t² + 20t + 65

     a=-4.9   b=20  c=65

h(2) = -4.9(2)² + 20(2) + 65

     = -19.6 + 40 + 65

     = 85.4
