Answer:

1. smaller value of t = 5

larger value of t = 9

2. (7, 4)

Explanation:

Given function:
h(t)=-(t-7)^2+4

To find the zeros, set the function to zero and solve for t:


\begin{aligned}h(t) & =0\\\implies -(t-7)^2+4 & =0\\-(t-7)^2 & =-4\\(t-7)^2 & =4\\t-7 & =√(4)\\t-7 & =\pm 2\\t & =7\pm 2\\t & = 5,9\end{aligned}

Vertex form:
y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h, k) is the vertex

Therefore, the vertex of the given function is (7, 4)
