Question 180859: The height h, in feet, of a stone thrown with an upward speed of 40 ft/s is given by the formula h=40t-16t^2, where t is the time, in seconds, since the stone was thrown. How long does it take the stone to reach the highest point of its path of motion?

Rewrite this equation as
h =-16t^2 + 40t
It is well-known that the highest point on a parabolic graph y=ax^2 +bx +c occurs at the value of .
In this equation for h=-16t^2 + 40t, the maximum value of h occurs when
seconds
R^2
