Problema Solution

If a ball is thrown directly upward with a velocity of 40 feet per second, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y= 40 t -16 t^2. What is the maximum height attained by the ball?

Answer provided by our tutors

t max=40/16*3

40/32=5/4

puttin value of t in eq. we get

 

y=40*5/4-16*(\/4)^2

 

after simlification we get

y=25 which is the maci height.
