Question

Derrick made a goal for 2 points during the basketball game. The path of the balls height in feet can be modeled by y= -x^2 - 2x + 24. Determine the height

Answer 1

first let's get the vertex of the function


`( (-b)/(2a),f( (-b)/(2a)))`

(-1,25) is the vertex

so the maximum height is 25 feet
