what is the height of the coin when it is tossed? -16x^2+96x+112 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The problem has not been written correctly\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "h(x) = -16x^2+96x+112
\n" ); document.write( "h isheight and x is the time \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "find the maximum height (whic we need to find the vertex of this quadratic equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " using the formula for the vertex of a parabola:
\n" ); document.write( "x= -b/2a\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a=-16 , b=96\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x= -96/-32= 3 seconds\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " maximum height occurs at x =3 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "plug x = 3 in the equation \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "h(3) = -16*3^2+96*3+112 =256 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The maximum height of the coin is 256 units \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
