In this case, the vertex is the lowest point of the V shaped curve.

The goal is to get the stuff inside the absolute value (the 2x-5) to be as small as possible, so we can get to the lowest point. In terms of absolute value, we want the 2x-5 to be equal to 0

This allows us to set up the equation below and solve for x.

2x-5 = 0

2x = 5

x = 5/2

x = (4+1)/2

x = 4/2 + 1/2

x = 2 + 1/2

x = 2 & 1/2

Let me know if this clears things up or not.

A baseball is hit and its height is given by h = 29.4t – 4. 9t^2, where h is the

ioda

Answer:

44.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a quadratic function which represents the height and time of a baseball

$\displaystyle h = 29.4t - 4.9 {t}^{2}$

we want to figure out maximum height of

the baseball

since the given function is a quadratic function so we have a parabola

which means figuring out the maximum height is the same thing as figuring out the maximum y coordinate (vertex)

to do so we can use some special formulas

recall that,

$\displaystyle \rm t= \frac{ - b}{ 2a}$

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=f(t)$

notice that, our given function is not in standard form i.e

$\displaystyle f(x) = a {x}^{2} + bx + c$

let's make it so

$\displaystyle h = - 4.9 {t}^{2} + 29.4t$

therefore we got

our <em>a</em> is -4.9 and <em>b </em>is 29.4

so substitute:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -( 29.4)}{ 2 \cdot - 4.9}$

remove parentheses and change its sign:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -29.4}{ 2 \cdot - 4.9}$

simplify multiplication:

$\displaystyle\rm t= \frac{ -29.4}{ - 9.8}$

simplify division:

$\displaystyle \: t = 3$

so we have figured out the time when the baseball will reach the maximum height

now we have to figure out the height

to do so

substitute the got value of time to our given function

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=29.4\cdot 3-4.9\cdot {3}^2$

simplify square:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=29.4\cdot 3-4.9\cdot 9$

simplify mutilation:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=88.2-44.1$

simplify substraction:

$\displaystyle H_{\text{max}}=44.1$

hence,

the maximum height of the baseball is 44.1 metres
