Answer:
1st blank: 160(2) - 16(2)²
2nd blank: 256
3rd blank: 5
4th blank: 400
5th blank: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
h(x) = -16x² + 160x
To find h(2) just replace x = 2 into the equation
h(2) = 160(2) - 16(2)² = 256 in
The maximum height coincides with the vertex of the parabola.
x-coordinate of the vertex: -b/(2a) = -160/[2*(-16)] = 5
y-coordinate of the vertex: -16(5)² + 160(5) = 400
To hit the ground means h(x) = 0
-16x² + 160x = 0
16x(-x + 10) = 0
x = 0
or
-x + 10 = 0
x = 10
