Question 930992: The height h (in feet) of a punted football can be modeled by the quadratic function
h(x)=-0.01x^2 + 1.18x +1.19
where x (in feet) is the horizontal distance from the point of impact of the
punter’s foot. Determine the maximum height of the football (to the nearest foot).
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
h(x) = -0.01x^2 + 1.18x + 1.19
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=-0.01, b=1.18 and c=1.19
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
-0.01 1.18 1.19
into this solver: https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-equation-solver.php
---
the quadratic has a maximum at:
---
( 59, 36 )
---
the maximum height of the football = 36 ft
