Will you be able to throw the ball over the wire? Found 2 solutions by richwmiller, ankor@dixie-net.com:Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! plug 40 in as h
and solve for t
only complex numbers for solutions
31 is the max for h=-16t^2 + 40t + 6
the vertex is (31, 1.25)

:
Find the max height:
the axis of symmetry;
t =
t = 1.25 secs
:
Find the max height
h = -16(1.25^2) + 40(1.25) + 6
h = -16(1.5625) + 50 + 6
h = -25 + 56
h = 31 ft, the answer is no
