Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find where the maximum i.  The maximum or minimum  is at the vertex.  We know where the zero are because the equation is written in the zero form

We know the vertex is 1/2 way between the zeros

h(x)=-(x+1)(x-7)

Using the zero product property

x+1 = 0  x-7 =0

The zeros are at -1 and 7

Adding the two together and dividing by 2

(-1+7)/2 = 6/2 =3

The maximum is at 3.  We know it is the maximum because the equation is pointing down because of the negative out front.

When we graph the function, it has a vertex of (3, 16).

The maximum of the graph is the highest "x" value on the graph which is 3.

Since the maximum is 3, it will take 3 seconds for the ball to reach its maximum height.

A graph will be shown below showing the function and vertex.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter D

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

P1 (3, 10)

P2 (-1, 6)

Process

1.- Calculate the midpoints

Xm = (x1 + x2)/2

Ym = (y1 + y2)/2

x1 = 3   y1 = 10

x2 = -1  y2 = 6

Xm = (3 - 1)/2

     = 2/2

     = 1

Ym = (10 + 6)/2

      = 16/2

      = 8

2.- Write the coordinates of the center

    C = (1, 8)
