For this case we have the following function:
 <span>w (x) = - 5 (x-8) (x + 4)
 </span><span>Rewriting we have:
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5 (x ^ 2 + 4x - 8x - 32)
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5x ^ 2 - 20x + 40x + 160
 </span><span>w (x) = - 5x ^ 2 + 20x + 160
 </span><span>Then, deriving we have:
 </span><span>w '(x) = - 10x + 20
 </span><span>We equal zero and clear x:
 </span><span>0 = -10x + 20
 </span><span>10x = 20
 </span><span>x = 20/10
 </span><span>x = 2 seconds
 </span><span>Substituting values:
 </span><span>w (2) = - 5 (2-8) (2 + 4)
 </span><span>w (2) = - 5 (-6) (6)
 </span><span>w (2) = 180 meters
 </span>Answer:
 
The maximum height that the stone will reach is:
 
w (2) = 180 meters
