A flare is shot upward from the edge of a 130 foot tall cliff with an initial velocity of 68 ft/sec. What is the maximum height above the ground this flare will go in feet?
=================
Using h(t) = -16t^2 + 68t + 130 for height:
----
It's a parabola. The vertex is the max height.
The vertex is at t = -b/2a = -68/-32 = 2.125 seconds
------
h(2.125) = -16*2.215^2 + 68*2.125 + 130 feet.
Do the arithmetic.
