Question 737406: The function h(t)= -16tsquared+352+368 represents on object in motion fired upward at an initial velocity of 352 ft/sec. The height of the object is represented by h and t represents time in seconds. What is the vertex? Is this is a maximum or minimum?

Your equation seems off? But use x=-b%2F%282a%29 to finds the x-coordinate of the vertex and substitute that result to find the y-coordinate. Since a=-16 is negative, the parabola is concave down with vertex at the top, so it is a maximum.
