Question 825655: -This winter, Mr.walker was out playing in the snow with the Walker-lers. The snow was great packing snow for snowballs, so they gathered up some neighbors and started to have friendly snowball fight. Mr.Walker went inside a friends apartment with a bucket of snowballs and started to launch them from the 4th floor window. He began to gather data on the snowball path so that he could have more accuracy when he threw them. One of the snowballs had a height(in feet)from the ground that followed the equation of h%28t%29=+-16t%5E2%2B+48t+%2B64 what is the greatest height from the ground that the snowball reaches? Graph the quadratic

---
h(t)= -16t^2 + 48t + 64
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=-16, b=48, and c=64
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
-16 48 64

---
the quadratic vertex is a maximum at: ( t= 1.5, h= 100 )
---
answer:
the snowball reaches a max height = 100 ft
