A catapult launches a boulder with an upward velocity of 184 feet per second. The height of the boulder, (h), in feet after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = –16t² + 184t +20. How long does it take the boulder to reach its maximum height? What is the boulder’s maximum height? Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

wow you guys are from the 2014. man those where good times

Reiny · Answer

for any quadratic of the form
y = ax^2 + bx + c

the x of the vertex is -b/(2a)
so for yours ...
x of the vertex is -184/(-32) = 5.75

so it took 5.75 seconds,

plug that into your original function to find the maximum height.
