Question

The table shows the height of an object, h(t), in meters after t seconds. Use your calculator to find the quadratic function. Find the approximate time, to the nearest hundredth of a second, after which the object will reach its maximum height.

Answer 1

My calculator models the function as
.. h(t) = -4.9t^2 +23.4t +120

The maximum height is reached at t=-23.4/(2(-4.9)) ≈ 2.39 seconds.
