A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 32 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h = -16t2 + 32t + 6. In how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height? Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. What is the ball’s maximum height?

to find the 'maximum height' we will need to take the derivative of h(t) = –16t² + 32t + 6 then set it equal to zero, then solve for t. this t will be the time at which the ball reaches it's maximum height.
