. A baseball is hit so that its height in feet after t seconds is
\n" ); document.write( " s(t) = -16t2 + 44t + 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) How high is the baseball after 1 seconds? \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) Find the maximum height of the baseball.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "without derivatives:
\n" ); document.write( "The vertex of the parabola is at t = -b/2a = -44/-32
\n" ); document.write( "t = 11/8 seconds.
\n" ); document.write( "The calculations are the same.
\n" ); document.write( "====================
\n" ); document.write( "I would also use the derivative, but I don't know if you are familiar with them.
