For the vertical motion model h left parenthesis t right parenthesish(t)equals=negative 16 t squared plus 77 t plus 9−16t2+77t+9​, identify the maximum height reached by an object and the amount of time the object is in the air to reach the maximum height.
Find maximum height also pls

The height function is h(t) = −16t^2 + 77t + 9 (a downward-opening parabola). The time of the vertex (maximum) is
t = −b/(2a) = −77/(2·(−16)) = 77/32 ≈ 2.40625 s.

The maximum height is h(77/32). Calculating,
h = −16(77/32)^2 + 77(77/32) + 9 = 6505/64 ≈ 101.640625 ft.

So the object reaches its maximum height of 6505/64 ft (≈101.64 ft) at t = 77/32 s (≈2.406 s).
