Question

A punter kicked the football into the air with an upward velocity of 62 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h = –16t^2 + 62t + 2.

What is the maximum height the
ball reaches?

How long will it take the football to reach the maximum height?

a. 3.875 s, 65.06 ft
b. 1.94 s, 62.06 ft
c. 0.97 s, 47.09 ft
d. 3.875 s, 62.06 ft​

Answer 1
