During halftime of a football game, a sling shot launches​ T-shirts at the crowd. A​ T-shirt is launched from a height of 4 feet with an initial upward velocity of 88 feet per second. The​ T-shirt is caught 32 feet above the field. How long will it take the​ T-shirt to reach its maximum​ height? What is the maximum​ height? What is the range of the function that models the height of the​ T-shirt over​ time?

I have the amount of time it will take the t-shirt to reach its maximum height.

You have T for max height
h(t) = 4 + 88t - 16t^2
so now evaluate H = h(T)
The range is naturally [0,H]
a. V = Vo + g*T = 0
88 + (-32)T = 0
T =

b. V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*h = 0
88^2 + (-64)h = 0
h = 121 Ft. above launching point.
ho+h = 4 + 121 = 125 Ft. above gnd.
