QuestionA ball is thrown upward and outward from a height of 5 feet. The height $f(x) = -0.1x^2 + 0.6x + 5$, where $x$ is the horizontal distance. Find the maximum height and where it occurs.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the maximum height of the ball.
$$f(x_{vertex}) = -0.1(3)^{2}+0.6(3)+5 =5.$$The maximum height of the ball is5. feet, which occurs3 feet from the point of release.
