Answer:

-5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

OUR EQUATION IS A QUADRATIC EQUATION

Let Δ be our dicriminant :

a= 1
b= 5
c= -4
Δ= 5²-4*1*(-4) =25 +16 =41≥0
so we have two solutions x and y
x= (-5-√41)/2 = -5.7

Answer:

The toy's maximum height is $10.12\ \text{feet}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the toy's height in feet from the ground at t seconds after he threw it is given by :

$h = -2t^2 + 7t + 4$ .....(1)

It is required to find the toy's maximum height. For maxima or minima, put

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0$

Plugging the value of t in above equation,

$\dfrac{d(-2t^2 + 7t + 4)}{dt}=0\\\\-4t+7=0\\\\t=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\t=1.75\ s$

Now put t = 1.75 s in equation (1) such that,

$h = -2(1.75)^2 + 7(1.75) + 4\\\\h=10.12\ \text{feet}$

So, the toy's maximum height is $10.12\ \text{feet}$ .
