The path of a diver is approximated by the following, where y is the height (in feet) and x is the horizontal distance (in feet) from the end of the diving board.
y= (-4/9)x^2+(24/9)x+13
What is the maximum height of the diver in feet?

17. Just graph it.
as with all ax^2+bx+c, the vertex is at (-b/2a, c - b^2/4a)
