Help please
Can you use a calculator for this?
I did
Did you guys learn how to do derivatives?
Calculus approach: Take the derivative of that equation, you get \[h'(t)=-32t+70\] Find out where -32t + 70 = 0 , and that's where the maximum point is (cause the slope changes from positive to negative at that point). Then you can plug t back into h(t) to get the height.
you can do this without calc. you are looking for the vertex the first coordinate of the vertex of \(ax^2+bx+c\) is always \(-\frac{b}{2a}\) which in your case is \[-\frac{70}{2\times (-16))}\]
since you are going to use a calculator anyways, round that to \(2.19\) and plug it in, i.e. computer \[-16\times (2.19)^2+70\times (2.19)+2\]
let me know when you get the answer
85.22
i got \(78.56\)
you need to square the first one
\[-16\times (2.19)^2+70\times (2.19)+2\]
oh okay then with that I got the same
whew
Haha
So D =)
Thank you
oh yeah, D
