Question

A golfer uses tracking device to determine the data of the ball as it is in the air. She calculates that her ball, when 34 yards away from her, reached a maximum height of 72 yards before descending. The path of the golf ball can be modeled by a quadratic function where x represents the horizontal distance and y represents the height of the ball. In terms of the context, which key feature represents the maximum height of the ball?(1 point)
