Question 930992: The height h (in feet) of a punted football can be modeled by the quadratic function
h(x)=-0.01x^2 + 1.18x +1.19
where x (in feet) is the horizontal distance from the point of impact of the
punter’s foot. Determine the maximum height of the football (to the nearest foot).

You can put this solution on YOUR website! h(x) = -0.01x^2 + 1.18x + 1.19
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=-0.01, b=1.18 and c=1.19
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
-0.01 1.18 1.19
