the average height of a castle door bounded by the parabola and the x-axis
parabola or has negative sign in front of , so and parabola opens downwards
then the vertex is its maximum which is at or at point (,)
the average height of a castle door bounded by the parabola will be equal to coordinate of the vertex which is units above axis
