Task #1

Go to 3.08 Exploring Height of a Baseball Discussion and post a response to the following problem.

A baseball player swings and hits a pop fly straight up in the air to the catcher. The height of the baseball in meters is t seconds after the hit is given by the quadratic function h(t) = −4.9t2 + 34.3t + 1.

How could we calculate how long it takes the baseball to reach its maximum height? How could we calculate the maximum height obtained by the baseball?

After you post your response, look at your classmates' posts and respond to their work if you see any mistakes.
