Question

If a ball is thrown directly upward with a velocity of 26 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 26t − 16t^2. What is the maximum height attained by the ball?

-Please just post answer if possible, my calculations are off. Just want to make sure I am correct.

well, you want y when x = -b/2a = 26/32

google will evaluate many algebraic expressions. Just type it into the search box.
