Question
7. A tennis ball is thrown upwards from the top of a 30-foot high building. Its height, in feet above the ground,
t-seconds after it is thrown is given by h=-16r² +80t +30 .
(a) Algebraically determine the time when the
tennis ball reaches its greatest height. What is
that height?
(b) Using your calculator, sketch a general graph
showing the ball's height for all times where
120 and h20.
