a.
To find: the maximum height of volley ball , where the height of the volleyball after
The maximum height is
Given information:
The given function is
Concept used:
The general function for the height of an object after launched is given by the function
Calculations:
The given function is
Based on the function, the graph is a parabola and open downwards. Thus from the vertex of the parabola can find out the maximum height.
Since the function is in the standard form of the parabola then
Then the maxium height is:
Thus the maximum height is
b.
