Answer for edgenuity
I think it may be c i learned about this last year
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is:
<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>
<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>
<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>
There are several possibilities. Here are a few that occur to me:
-- If Point-A is the summit of Pike's Peak, he may feel somewhat
short of breath.
-- If Point-A is his grandmother's house, he may feel a great sense
of pleasant anticipation.
-- If Point-A is his office on Monday morning, then he may feel
a tightening sensation in his chest.;
-- If Point-A is his home on Friday afternoon, then he feels the
effects of a slow and steady drop in his blood pressure.
I finer point might be put to it if we had any idea of where
Point-A is, and what it represents in the grand scheme
of things.
