Question 867451: The height, h(t), in meters, of the trajectory of a ball is given by h(t)=1.8+25-4.9 t^2 , where t is the time in flight, in seconds. determine the maximum height of the ball and the time when that height is reached. show all your work. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Your height function is incorrect. I'm guessing you meant , based on the presumption that the initial velocity of the ball is 25 meters per second rather than 1.8 meters per second.
Please verify. Also, are you looking for the algebraic solution where you find the vertex of the parabola or the calculus solution where you set the first derivative equal to zero?
