Hey I will MEDAL if you help me.
Michelle and Maggie are at baseball practice. Michelle throws a ball into the air, and when it drops to a height of 5ft, she hits the ball. The height of the ball is modeled by the graph below where t = time in seconds and h = height of the ball from the ground.

A graph of a parabola is shown. The y-intercepts are at approximately negative 0.1, 0 and 2.1, 0. The vertex is located at the approximate coordinate of 1, 22.
Maggie is throwing a ball into the air and catching it. The height of Maggie’s ball is modeled by the function h(t) =  –16t2 + 48t + 15.

Part 1. Which ball goes higher in the air, the ball that is hit or the ball that is thrown? Use complete sentences, and show all work to explain how you determined the height that each ball reaches.
