Given the height of the discus can be modeled by the equation y=−16x
^2
+32x+4, where y represents the height in feet of the discus in seconds, the velocity of the discus at its maximum height is zero.
Velocity v = dy/dx = 0
dy/dx = -32x + 32
0 = -32x + 32
32x = 32
x = 1 secs
Hence it will take the discus 1 secs to reach its maximum height
