Question 1058957: A fountain shoots water from a nozzle at its base. The height h, in feet, of the water above the ground t seconds after it leaves the nozzle is given by the function h(t) = –16t^2 + 15t + 6. What is the maximum height of the water? Round to the nearest tenth. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the formula for the vertex
which is:
---------------
Plug this value back into equation
to find
---------------------------------
The maximum height of the water is 9.5 ft
