The height of water shooting from a fountain is modeled by the function f(x) = -4x2 + 24x - 29 where x is the distance from the spout in feet. Complete the square to determine the maximum height of the path of the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -4x^2+24x-29

= -4(x^2-6x)-29

= -4(x-3)^2 -4(-9) -29

= -4(x-3)^2 +36-29

= -4(x-3)^2 +7

maximum height = 7m

x = 25

step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

7^2+24^2=c^2

49+576=625

sqrt625=25

x=25
