Question 607060: A gush of wind sends dandelion seeds through the
air. The path of the seeds can be modelled by the
equation, h = -4.9t2 + 4t + 8 where h represents
the height in centimeters and t is time measured in
seconds. What is the highest height the seeds will
reach?
solve please Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The minus sign in front of the
term tells me that this 2nd degree
curve has a maximum and not a minimum.
The t-coordinate of the vertex ( maximum )
is at when the
form is
Plug this back into equation to find
The greatest height in cm is 8.8163 cm
here's a plot:
( ignore the negative values of )
