Question

Bill is painting the shutters on his house when he drops his paint brush. The height of the paint brush above the ground can be modeled by the following equation:

h(t)= -16t^2+35

What is the minimum or maximum value for this equation and what does the value represent for this situation?

Answer 1

y=a(x-h)^2+k

k is max value
so
h(t)=-16(t+0)^2+35
thhe max value is at 35

it is the max because -16<0 so the parabola opens down
that's how high the paint brush goes
