A player throws a ball up and toward a wall that is 17 feet high. The height h in feet of the ball after t seconds after it leaves the player's hand is modeled by h=-16t^2+25t+6. If the ball makes it to where the wall is, will it go over the wall or hit the wall?

Answer 1

The maximum height of the ball is reached at t=25/32

Plug that in. If it is greater than 17, then I guess it would depend on how far away the wall is.
