A ball is kicked upward with an initial velocity of 52 feet per second. The ball's height, h (in feet), from the ground Is
modeled by h= -16t^2 +52t where t is measured in seconds. How much time does the ball take to reach its highest
point? What is its height at this point?

Sagot :

Check the picture below.
