Question 44947: Can someone help with this question?
The shape of a supporting arch can be modeled by h(x)=-0.03x^2+3x, where h(x) represents the height of the arch and x represents the horizontal distance from one end of the base of the arch in meters. Find the maximum height of the arch.

h(x) = -0.03x^2 + 3x
V(50,75)
At 50 meters across (half of the arch's horizontal length), the arch's maximum height is 75 meters.
