Question

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building 160 ft high with an initial velocity of 48 ft/sec.
Find the maximum height the ball reaches. Position Formula is -16t^2+48T+160

Answer 1

s = -16t²+48t +160
Vertex coordinate ( h, k)
h = ...?

Answer 2

I'm confused on what you mean?

Answer 3

Do you know what vertex is?

Answer 4

Yeas, but s is the position function so it looks like this right?

Answer 5

Yes, vertex point in this case is maximum point!

Answer 6

Do know how to find vertex coordinate?

Answer 7

No, I guess not then, how should I go about doing that?

Answer 8

h = -b/2a

Answer 9

Thank you!
