Answer:
100feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the height of the object modelled by the equation
y = -16x^2 + 48x + 64
We can find the maximum height reached by the object since we are not told what to find.
The velocity of the object at its max height is zero.
dy/x = 0
dy/dx = -32x + 48
0 = -32x + 48
32x = 48
x = 48/32
x = 1.5secs
get the max height by substituting x = 1.5 into the given equation:
y = -16x^2 + 48x + 64
y = -16(1.5)^2 + 48(1.5)+ 64
y = -36+72+64
y = 100 feet
Hence the maximum height reached by the object is 100feet
