The height, h, of a thrown ball as a function of t, the amount of time it has been in the air, is given by \(h(t) = –10t^2 + 40t\). What is the maximum height attained by the ball?

given
\(h(t)=–10t^2+40th(t)=–10t^2+40t\)
for getting maximum height differentiate the equation on both sides
-20t+40 = 0
t = 2
maximum height will be attainted at t=2sec
so h=80-40=40
option C is correct
\(h(t)=–10t^2+40th(t)=–10t^2+40t\)
for getting maximum height differentiate the equation on both sides
-20t+40 = 0
t = 2
maximum height will be attainted at t=2sec
so h=80-40=40
option C is correct
