If the height (in meters) of an object traveling vertically is represented by the function
Starting velocity
Evaluate
when .
Starting position
Evaluate
when .
Maximum height
Since the height function is a parabola, the maximum height can be determined by using Algebra to locate the vertex. Calculus can also be used.
The maximum height will occur at the time when
. The vertex of the parabola is located at
seconds. m
