A ball is thrown upward and outward from a height of 7 feet. The height of the ball, f(x), in feet, can be modeled by F(X)=-0.1X^2+0.7X+7 where x is the ball's horizontal distance, in feet, from where it was thrown. What is the maximum height of the ball and how far from where it was thrown does this occur?
