A golf ball is chipped into the air from a small hill with an upward velocity of 50 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h=-16t^2+50t+10. What is the maximum height in feet that the ball reaches? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
\[Equation: h=-16t^2+50t+10\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
First find out derivative of function to get critical point
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay its is quadratic equation so maximum or minimum point would be at vertex correct ?

Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So can you try to find vertex for it ?
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
with the quadratic equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
use (-b/2a) to fin out vertex
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Getting this ??

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So vertex would be ---- ?
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
\[\frac{ -50 }{ 2*-16 }\]
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
50/32

Perfect ......
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
So now what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now we need to find out value of given function at this point can you try for it ?
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
How can I do that... I mean what's the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
We are having function as h=-16t^2+50t+10 just plug value of of t =( 50/32) into this equation and try to simplify it can you try ?
