Sergio launches a projectile from the top of a 50- foot high building. The initial velocity of the projectile is 32 feet per second. The height of the projectile is modeled by the function h(t)=−16t^2+32t+50 , where t is measured in seconds since the launch.

What is the maximum height the projectile reaches?

 

56 ft

66 ft

74 ft

118 ft

The time, t, at which the projectile reaches the max height is

 

-32/ [ 2 * -16 ] =    1 second

 

And at this time, the max height is

 

-16(1)^2 + 32(1) + 50 =

 

16 + 50 =

 

66 ft
