Answer 1

Answer:

• 14 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is representing the graph of parabola which opens down and its pick is its vertex

The vertex is calculated by vertex formula:

• x = -b/2a for the equation y = ax² + bx + c

In our case t is the vertex and its value is:

• t = -42/(-1.5*2) = 42/3 = 14 seconds
