Given:
<span>y= -x^2 - 2x + 24.

graph of an equation of the form y = ax</span>² + bx + c ; a < 0, the parabola opens downward

a = -1 ; b = - 2 ; c + 24

x = 0 ; y = 0² - 2(0) + 24 ; y = 24   (0,24) y-coordinate

x = [-b <u>+</u> √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a 
x = [-(-2) <u>+</u> √(-2²) - 4(-1)(24)] / 2(-1)
x = [2 <u>+</u> √(4 + 28)] /  -2
x = [2 <u>+</u> √32] / -2
x = [2 <u>+</u> √(4*8)] / -2
x = [2 <u>+</u> 2 √8] / -2
x = 2 (1 <u>+</u> √8) / -2
x = 1 <u>+</u> √8 / -1

x = - 1 + √8  ; x = - 1 - √8
x = -1 + 2.83 ; x = -1 - 2.83
x = 1.83 ; x = -3.83

average:
1.83 + 3.83 = 5.66
5.66 / 2 = 2.83 midpoint

y = -(2.83)² - 2(2.83) + 24
y = - 8 - 5.66 + 24
y = 10.34

The maximum height of the ball is 10.34 feet.  (2.83,10.34)

What is the value of y?<br><br> Enter your answer, as an exact value, in the box.
OLga [1]
We know the bottom triangle is a 45, 45, 90 triangle, so the hypotenuse is √2 times the value of the legs:

(√2)(√2)
=√4
=2

Now, we can use this to solve for y. The top triangle is a 30, 60, 90 triangle. The side we found above is the side across from the 30 degree angle. The side opposite the 60 degree angle is √3 times the side across the 30 degree angle. Therefore, we can solve for y by multiplying 2 by √3

y=2√3
