A baseball player swings and hits a pop fly straight up in the air to the catcher. The height of the baseball in meters t seconds after it is hit is given by the quadratic function h(t)= -4.9t^2 + 9.8t + 1. How long does it take for the baseball to reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height obtained by the baseball?

Step-by-step explanation:

max can be found by the formula:

t=-b/2a

t=-9.8/2*(-4.9)

t=-9.8/-9.8

t=1

1 sec

to find maximum height obtained we find the vertex:

plug in 1 for t and simply solve:

h(t)= -4.9t^2 + 9.8t + 1

h(t)= -4.9*1^2 + 9.8*1 + 1

h(t)= -4.9*1 + 9.8 + 1

h(t)= -4.9 + 10.8

h(t)= 5.9

height is 5.9

0.84 dang lotta people are looking for this lol or if you round up its 1 but the overall answer to that is 0.84
