h(t) = -16t² + 50t + 5
The maximum height is the y vertex of this parabola.
Vertex = (-b/2a, -Δ/4a)
The y vertex is -Δ/4a
So,
The maxium height is -Δ/4a
Δ = b² - 4.a.c
Δ = 50² - 4.(-16).5
Δ = 2500 + 320
Δ = 2820
H = -2820/4.(-16)
H = -2820/-64
H = 2820/64
H = 44.0625
So, the maxium height the ball will reach is 44.0625
