Question 1002955: The height h(in feet) of a model rocket in flight is modeled by h(x) = -5/6x2 + 20x, where x is the horizontal distance from the launch point of the rocket (also in feet). Find the maximum height of the rocket and determine the horizontal distance from the launch point to where the rocket will land.

The formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex is
Your equation is:
Plug this result back into equation to get
The max height is 120 ft
----------------------
The horizontal distance from the launch point will
be double
24 ft
---------
Here's the plot:
