Since the given equation does not fit the conditions, I suspect they want you to use it as a model. In that case,
h = -16t^2 +48t + 3
Max height is at the vertex of the parabola, which, as usual, occurs at
t = -b/2a = 3/2
A baseball player hits aa baseball into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 48 feet per second from a height of 3 feet(Use h=-16t^2+vt+5)
Write an equation that gives the baseball's height as a function of the time(in seconds) after it is hit.
After how many seconds does the baseball reach it's maximum height?
What is the maximum height?
