Question 485459: When fighting a fire, the velocity v of water being pumped into the air is modeled by the function , where h represents the maximum height of the water and g represents the acceleration due to gravity (32 ft/s2).
Solve the function for h.

I believe the function is V = sqrt 2hg, h is max height of water and g is acceleration due to gravity (32ft/s^2).
I am also having trouble with this.

No function provided. Assuming the function

, the time t that the water is at a maximum height is simply the x-coordinate of the "vertex" of the parabola, or t = -v/g. Then the height at this moment is

(You might have to remove the negative sign because we assume g to be a negative acceleration.)
