If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 60 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by
y=60t−16t2
When is the ball at its maximum height?
Max occurs when x = -b/(2a) = -60/(2*-16) = 60/32 = 15/8 seconds
-----------------------------------
After 15/8 = 1.875 seconds.
---------------------------------------------
What is the maximum height attained by the ball?
f(1.875) = 60(1.875)-16(1.875)^2 = 56.25 ft.
