Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This answer can be found in the h value for the vertex of a parabola, (h, k). The k value is the max height and we were already given that information. We need to solve for h. There's an easy way and a really complicated way...I'll show you the easy way because it's actually quite useful to know, especially when doing a lot of work with quadratics!
The formula to find h is
[tex]h=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] and in our quadratic, a = -16, b = 96 and c = 6. Filling in what we need:
[tex]h=\frac{-96}{2(-16)}[/tex] so
h = 3
At 3 seconds the max height of 150 feet is reached.
