Xavier shoots a basketball in which the height, in feet, is modeled by the equation, h(t) = -4t2 + 10 + 18, where t is time, in seconds. What is the maximum height of the basketball?

The maximum height of the basketball is of 24.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

It's vertex is the point

In which

Where

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at , and it's value is .

Height of the basketball:

Given by the following function:

Which is a quadratic function with

What is the maximum height of the basketball?

y(in this case h) of the vertex. So

The maximum height of the basketball is of 24.25 feet.
