The equation for a projectile's height versus time is: h(t)=-16t^2+vot+ho. A tennis ball machine serves a ball vertically into the air from a height of 2 feet, with an initial speed of 110 feet per second. What is the maximum height, in feet, the ball will attain? Round to the nearest hundredth

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plugin the given values in h(t)=-16t^2+vot+ho

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

vo = ? ho = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vo=110 ho=2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, so the equation is : h(t) = -16t^2 + 110t + 2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

where does the maximum value occur for a quadratic ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 The max is 2 so then you plug in 2 where the t is so would the final outcome be 376?
