Question 805928: The path of a diver is given by the following, where y is the height (in feet) and x is the horizontal distance from the end of the diving board (in feet).
y=-4/9 x^2 + 24/9 x + 11
What is the maximum height of the diver?

..here you have parabola opened upside-down and maximum is at vertex; so, find coordinates of vertex
will give us the x-coordinate of the vertex: and
now plug it in equation and find
so, the vertex is at: (,)
since given that is the maximum height of the diver, it is
