Aprojectile is shot into the air following the path, h(x) = -3x^2 + 30x + 300. at what time, value of x, will it reach a maximum height?
x = 1
x = 2
x = 4
x = 5

maximum at x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

This path is parabolic (represented by a parabola since it is given by a quadratic expression).The parabola has the branches down since its leading coefficient is negative (-3), so the maximum value of this function will correspond to the vertex of the parabola.

We can use the definition for the vertex of a parabola to find it.

For a general parabola of the form: ,

the x-value of its vertex is given by the expression:

In our case, (since = -3,  and = 30) it becomes:

Therefore, the projectile will reach its maximum at x=5

360/29

step-by-step explanation:

answer: no

step-by-step explanation: because the big angle will spread away the 2 side that it is on and make the opposite side even longer.
